Slingshot Development Fund Grant

The Slingshot Development Fund Grant aims to enhance the living conditions of individuals from Burma in the Tennaserim Region. This initiative prioritizes community-based organizations and emergency relief projects, particularly for those affected by the Yadana gas pipeline. Additionally, it supports humanitarian efforts for those displaced across the Thai border. The grant excludes political parties, governments, and assistance to individuals, focusing solely on community-driven initiatives.

NOTE: Proposals are reviewed twice a year by the Board of Directors.
