Description
1) Objective
The Neelan Tiruchelvam Trust (NTT) was established in 2001, two years after the assassination of Dr. Neelan Tiruchelvam, a devoted peacemaker, legislator, constitutional lawyer and institution builder. As an independent, indigenous and philanthropic grant making body, the Trust is well positioned to understand the issues surrounding the various communities that make up the social fabric of Sri Lanka. The Trust aims to support sustainable measures that are inclusive, with its mission being the promotion of: (1) peace – NTT believes that good governance encourages accountability and transparency; (2) reconciliation – social justice relates to the collective and individual responsibility to ensure a just society and (3) human rights – NTT is committed to dedicating resources to support programmes that increase the ability of women to claim and exercise their rights.
The types of grants include the following: (1) recurrent grants that are given to existing grantees based on those who best meet the selection criteria; (2) core grant-funding that enables organisations to take a strategic approach to development; (3) administered grants for small and emerging groups; and (4) a Women’s Fellowship Programme, which aims to encourage and empower young women to be part of a new generation of human rights activists.
2) Eligibility
Priority is given to small and medium sized organisations and organisations working at regional/district level. The Trust requires demonstrated experience and a proven track record of programmes that have shown significant results in the field of activity envisaged by the project to be funded.
3) Location
Actions must take place in Sri Lanka.
