Ease of Employment,
Livelihood, and Formality Fund
Deadlines: February 1 | June 1 | October 1
This funding topic is available thanks to generous support of John Templeton Foundation and the Reynolds Foundation. It provides funding to Atlas Network partners all around the world who have ambitious plans to increase formal market participation, increase employment opportunities, and ease the regulatory environment for work.
Competitive applications must clearly demonstrate how the proposed initiative aims to broaden participation in the formal sector, increasing productivity, sparking economic growth, and lifting living standards for people who live in, or on the edge of, poverty. Projects that hope to lay the groundwork for long-term reform through hearts & minds campaigns are also acceptable.

FAQ
-
All Atlas Network partners are eligible.
-
We suggest a request averaging $35,000, though other amounts may be entertained. Atlas Network is not endowed and accepts no government funding, so our capacity to give is restricted by our own fundraising success.
-
In addition to submitting the standard grant reports in our application portal, grantees might be invited to present their project or initiative during one or more Atlas Network Liberty Forums.
Additionally, grantees are required to identify a credible source of information on employment rates and/or business registration available in their country as part of their project’s Champagne Popping Moment and, in cases of achieved reforms, report on any changes to further demonstrate the impact of their projects. -
