About the Organization

Right Sharing of World Resources (RSWR) is an independent Quaker not-for-profit organization sharing the abundance of God’s love by working for equity through partnerships around the world.

RSWR gives grants to groups of marginalized women in Kenya, Sierra Leone, and India to fund individual micro-enterprise projects. Right Sharing’s work is grounded in a sense of stewardship for the world’s material, human, and spiritual resources.

About the Grant

Right Sharing of World Resources provides seed grants to small grassroots organizations to implement women-led, income-generating projects.

We fund grants to groups in Sierra Leone, and parts of Kenya, and south India. Organizations must be small, with little or no access to other funds.  Additionally, they should be under 20 years old.

RSWR supports income-generating, self-employment projects for poor women who are members of a self help group. The project must include a revolving loan component. We believe that small scale income-generating projects offer a means of establishing self sufficiency to very poor people. By requiring that the project include a revolving loan program, we can multiple the impact of our grant as the funds are revolved many times to many different women within the community.

Grant Size

Up to US $5,500 per year, for a maximum of five years. Projects are funded one year at a time and each new proposal must target a new group of women.

Who may apply

• We strive to help newer, smaller organizations whose budgets may not allow them to receive grants from other sources.
• NGOs must be less than 20 years old and have annual budgets of less than $16,500.

How to Apply

You must write up a proposal describing your project. Be sure to follow the RSWR criteria below. RSWR has two funding cycles. There is a deadline for each cycle, June 30 and December 31. We strongly recommend that proposals be received by us at least a month in advance of these deadlines. If we receive a proposal after the deadline, we cannot consider the proposal until the next funding cycle. Make your proposal as short as possible but respond to all the items on the enclosed check-list. In addition to your proposal, send your detailed project budget and your organization's most recent annual financial audit. Please note that we require the most recent audit for your entire organization, not just one section or one project.

Proposals should be sent by email to: india-applications@rswr.org.
