In June, faith-based organisations across Barbados were encouraged to submit proposals for funding under the 2026 Faith-based Organisations Special Fund Grant Facility.
The facility provides $5 million annually, with funding distributed across the four quarters of the financial year. Grants are available to faith-based organisations that are advancing the sustainable development and empowerment of young people. Funding will support projects that align with national development priorities and contribute to building resilient communities.
