THE SCHOOL OF VISIBILITY
Grant Opportunities
At Just Peoples, we believe in a future shaped by local leadership. Organisations led by people who are rooted in the communities they serve and driven by lived experience, cultural wisdom, and a deep understanding of the challenges their people face.
Granted program places with The School of Visibility will be offered to support extraordinary locally-led non-profits in the Pacific Islands, South East Asia, East Africa and Malawi to develop a Visibility Strategy. This is part of Just Peoples’ commitment to support locally-led organisations gain the global recognition and funding support they deserve as they pioneer powerful solutions to poverty in their communities.
The last round of applications closed Sunday 26 October 2025 for granted places in Visibility Strategy Development programs commencing in November 2025 and February 2026.

WITH thanks to our supporters
Recently granted places with The School of Visibility were made possible thanks to the generous support of Gillian, a visionary Irish donor passionate about the power of local leadership. Her contribution enabled ten local changemakers to strengthen their voice, grow their impact, and share their stories with the world.
Each grant round, we receive far more quality applications than we’re able to fund. A testament to the energy and innovation of local leaders driving change in their communities.
