The Oneness Revival Team (ORT) has launched its fourth annual grant cycle for 2026, providing funding to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) worldwide that are making measurable differences in their communities.
The grant cycle targets NGOs with annual operating budgets under $100,000 USD and aims to support grassroots initiatives, strengthen organizational capacity, and promote sustainable social, economic, and environmental development.
Applications for the 2026 grant cycle must be submitted through the ORT online portal by December 20, 2026, at 5:00 PM (local time).
Two Grant Options
The 2026 cycle offers two types of one-year grants: the SEED Grant and the THRIVE Grant, designed to meet the needs of both new and previously funded NGOs.
SEED Grant
The SEED Grant is designed for NGOs that have not previously received ORT funding or prefer to apply for general project support.
Grant amounts range from $25,000 to $50,000 USD per year.
Funding can be used to launch or scale projects aligned with ORT’s mission, strengthen organizational capacity, enhance operational effectiveness, or support programmatic activities, advocacy efforts, and community outreach.
Applicants for the SEED Grant must submit documentation, including proof of NGO registration, constitution, tax documents, bank statements, and an organizational profile, along with applicant identification and contact information.
THRIVE Grant
The THRIVE Grant is intended for NGOs that have received ORT funding previously and are in good standing. Grant amounts also range from $25,000 to $50,000 USD per year.
Funding can be used to expand successful programs, strengthen long-term sustainability, enhance operational effectiveness, and support strategic initiatives that drive transformational change in communities.
Eligibility and Application Requirements
To apply for either grant, NGOs must:
Be legally registered as a non-profit organization in their country.
Have an annual operating budget under $50,000 USD.
Demonstrate a clear mission, objectives, and measurable community impact.
Maintain transparency in financial management and accountability practices.
Submit a detailed project proposal, including a project plan, budget, and expected outcomes.
Applications should be submitted via email to info@onenessrevivalteam.info, with all required documents uploaded in the specified formats.
Required documents include a completed grant application form, project proposal, budget breakdown, proof of registration, and organizational structure with team member details.
Supporting Grassroots Development
ORT’s grant program is designed to strengthen the capacity of small NGOs that often have close ties to the communities they serve.
Funding from the SEED and THRIVE Grants can help organizations scale impactful projects, improve community engagement, and implement sustainable initiatives that address pressing social, economic, and environmental challenges.
The 2026 grant cycle emphasizes supporting projects that are innovative, inclusive, and sustainable, particularly those that prioritize the needs of women and youth and integrate digital technology into program delivery.
This grant cycle underscores ORT’s ongoing commitment to empowering NGOs worldwide to deliver measurable impact, foster local development, and drive positive change at the community level.
Organizations interested in applying are encouraged to review the eligibility requirements carefully and submit their applications before the December 20, 2026, deadline.
By supporting grassroots organizations, ORT aims to ensure that community-driven solutions continue to thrive, creating lasting social, economic, and environmental benefits around the world.
