Direct Aid Program (DAP)
For 2025–26, DAP invites NGOs and academic institutions in Goa, Gujarat, and Maharashtra to apply for grants of up to AUD 40,000 (approx. ₹20 lakhs). These funds aim to uplift communities through projects that are sustainable, inclusive, and self-sufficient beyond the funding period.
Whether you’re empowering women with legal awareness, supporting persons with disabilities, educating rural youth, or promoting LGBTQI+ inclusion, DAP wants to back your vision for equitable development.
To qualify, applicants must hold a valid FCRA registration, dedicate at least 10% of the budget to public awareness, and keep admin costs within 5%.
