This is Round 3 of the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) fund to support the resilience of organisations working to end Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) in minoritised and marginalised communities.
The fund is managed by The London Community Fund and aims to help address the needs of women facing multiple disadvantages where mainstream generic provision is not always apparent.
Grants will be awarded to organisations that are working to prevent VAWG, support survivors, or challenge the attitudes and behaviours that lead to violence.
For individual organisations, three-year grants of up to £150,000 (£50,000 per year) are available.
Partnerships of up to three organisations can apply for three-year grants of up to £180,000 (£60,000 per year).
Organisations with an annual income of less than £500,000 will be prioritised.
Applicants must have a track record of meeting the diverse needs of the following minoritised and marginalised service-users:
- Black women and girls and women and girls from minority ethnic backgrounds
- Women and girls with disabilities
- Neuro-diverse women and girls
- LGBTQ+ women
- Young women and girls (under 25 years of age)
- Older women (over 55 years of age)
- women with no recourse to public funds (NRPF)
- women involved in prostitution
- women and girls involved in modern slavery and human trafficking.
Funded activities can start from the week beginning 1 February 2027 and must be completed by 31 January 2030.
The closing date for applications is 2pm on Wednesday 4 November 2026.
