Global Fund for Women accepting new applications from Women-led NGOs + other opportunities for Women

Last date : January 31, 2016

 
Women-led NGOs can now submit their organizational profiles for possible grant support from the Global Fund for Women for its 2016 grant making.
Global Fund for Women provides small women-led organizations outside of the United States grants ranging from $5,000 to $30,000 per year for operating and project expenses. First-time grant awards generally range from $5,000 to $13,000 per year.
Global Fund for Women has three critical areas of funding:

• Zero Violence
• Economic & Political Empowerment
• Sexual & Reproductive Health & Rights

Application Criteria:

• It is based in a country outside the United States. It does not fund US-based organizations.
• Its primary focus is advancing women’s equality and human rights, with these goals clearly reflected in its activities.
• Please note that groups whose sole purpose is to generate income or to provide charity to individuals are not eligible to apply.
• It is a group of women working together. It does not accept requests from individuals and we do not fund projects proposed by or for the benefit of individuals (this includes scholarships).
• It is governed, directed, and led by women. Women must fill all or most of the leadership roles throughout the various decision-making levels of the group (including but not limited to the most senior decision-making levels).

Global Fund receives over 2,500 proposals each year and is able to award about 500 grants annually. Unfortunately it does not have the resources to provide funding to all the groups that meet our criteria. It does, however, give priority to women’s groups that might particularly benefit from our support.
