WWP EN Grants - Supporting Change

Through this call, WWP EN supports organisations working with people who perpetrate violence in close relationships to strengthen the quality, safety, and sustainability of their programmes, in line with the European Standards for Perpetrator Programmes, survivor safety principles, and EU values. 

The 2026 grants are designed both as a programme improvement mechanism and as a structured pathway towards European accreditation, supporting organisations at different stages of development.

In 2026, two types of grants are available. Eligible organisations may apply for one or both grant types through separate applications.
