Tier 1 Pilot Launches to Expand Funding Access
Published on June 10, 2026
We have launched the Tier 1 Pilot, a new initiative designed to enable Tier 1 member organisations to access the Start Fund for the first time. The pilot is part of our broader commitment to increasing direct funding access for local and national organisations and advancing locally led humanitarian action.
Running until December 2027, the pilot will support eligible Tier 1 members in India, Pakistan, South Sudan, Somalia, and Guatemala to engage with the Start Fund through tailored training, guidance, and dedicated support.
