In practice · Global Statelessness Fund

Funding shaped by the people closest to the issue.

Co-created by stateless people, civil society organisations and donors, the Global Statelessness Fund supports activists and organisations led by people affected by statelessness.

It brings together resourcing, accompaniment and peer learning. OCE provides the hosting framework and administers grants, documentation and financial reporting.

Fund Dashboard

The platform

A shared view of the work.

Open Collective gives fund administrators a place to follow accounts, contributions and grant requests. The arrangement defines who decides, who reviews and how the fund reports.

The arrangement

Built around a clear purpose.

Together, we clarify who can receive support, how decisions are made and what reporting is needed.

Donor-advised giving

Donors can help shape priorities and recommend support. OCE retains final responsibility for approving and administering grants. The arrangement and any tax treatment depend on the donor, jurisdiction and funding route.

Administrative contribution

A 10% administrative contribution supports the foundation’s administration and shared tools. We confirm the conditions together.
