OLAM has procured a limited pool of need-based travel subsidies, up to $1500 USD each.
Priorities will be given to:
- Partner organizations with a budget below $1 million
- Individual members who have been fired, furloughed or put on administrative leave due to the US foreign aid policy changes.
However, others are encouraged to apply as well.
In order to get a diverse representation of our partner organizations, we can only provide a travel subsidy for up to one person per partner organization. Before applying for a subsidy, please speak to your supervisor or the CEO of your organization to ensure that there aren't multiple applications from your organization.
All travel subsidies will be paid as reimbursements, following Focal Point. If you are in need of a travel subsidy, please complete this form and OLAM will respond to your request within a week of submission.
Available funds are limited and will be approved on a rolling basis, so please submit your request as soon as possible.
Subsidies may be used for economy class round-trip flights or trains and will not cover the costs of taxis, gas use in personal vehicles, cancellation fees, flight or train class upgrades, visas, or any other travel-related expenses.
