Global Fund for Women is a global intermediary feminist fund headquartered in San Francisco that raises money and grants it directly to grassroots feminist organizations and activists rather than running programs of its own. Across its history it has made more than 14,000 grants to over 5,800 grantee partners in some 180 countries.
The fund practices flexible, multi-year, trust-based grantmaking with minimal reporting, leaving how to use the funds to each grantee partner. It identifies partners proactively through participatory decision-making and movement data rather than open calls, concentrates grantmaking on feminist crisis response, freedom from violence, sexual and reproductive justice, and climate justice, and complements funding with resilience support and learning convenings. Many of its partners organize where civic space is restricted.
Global Fund for Women Grants deliver flexible, multi-year funding directly to grassroots feminist organizations and activists advancing gender justice.
