The fifth round of applications for the National Society Investment Alliance (NSIA) is now open.

The NSIA is a pooled funding mechanism, run jointly by the IFRC and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

It provides flexible, multi-year funding to support the long-term development of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies—particularly those in complex emergencies and protracted crisis—so they can increase the reach and impact of their humanitarian services.

The NSIA can award up to one million Swiss francs of accelerator funding to any one National Society over a five-year period. In addition, bridge grants of up to 50,000 Swiss francs over 12 months can help National Societies prepare the ground for future investment from the NSIA or from elsewhere.

How to apply

Interested National Societies should apply using this online form, where all application documents are also located.

The deadline for submissions is midnight (CET) on Tuesday 11 July 2023.

Please contact the NSIA Office if you have any questions about the application process: [email protected]
