The ElectroPower Fund offers grants between €10,000 and €30,000 to support grassroots initiatives that tackle forced labour in the electronics supply chain in Malaysia and Thailand and nickel smelters in Indonesia.

- 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:
- Grants of €10,000 – €30,000 (full cost coverage)
- Mentoring and support for project implementation
- Visibility and networking through the ElectroPower project
