The ElectroPower Fund offers grants between €10,000 and €30,000 to support grassroots initiatives that tackle forced labour in electronics and minerals supply chains. We are looking for projects that are led by or closely connected to workers — especially migrant workers and women.

Who can apply?

• Migrant workers’ associations (formal or informal)
• Local, independent trade unions
• Civil society organisations (CSOs) working on labour rights, legal advocacy, community mobilisation, or worker-led monitoring

You don’t need to be a registered NGO to apply. What matters is your strong link to workers and your commitment to their rights.

What kind of projects do we support?

• Organise and mobilise workers
• Build local monitoring and support networks
• Provide training on labour rights and legal empowerment
• Advocate for structural change and take action against forced labour practices

What we offer:
