Global Fund for Women believes that women are powerful catalysts for change and that 

strong women's organizations and movements make transformative shifts in power that 

are crucial to women realizing their rights and creating lasting solutions to the 

world's problems. We advocate for, and subscribe to, a philanthropy that invests in the 

human rights of women and girls, mobilizes resources, and that empowers women's 

organizations and movements. We actively seek global partnerships that contribute to 

enabling all people to live in a just and equitable society. The Global Fund for Women 

invests in women's groups that advance the human rights of women and girls. We 

strengthen women-led groups based outside the United States by providing 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. We value local expertise and 

believe that women themselves know best how to determine their needs and propose 

solutions for lasting change. To maximize our impact in defending and expanding hard 

won gains in women's rights, Global Fund's grantmaking will focus on three critical 

areas: zero violence; economic and political empowerment; and sexual reproductive 

health and rights. Please note that your group MUST meet all the following criteria to 

be eligible for a grant: be based in a country outside the United States; its primary focus 

is advancing women's equality and human rights, with these goals clearly reflected in its 

activities; it is a group of women working together (they do not accept requests from 

individuals); and it is governed, directed, and led by women (women must fill all or 

most of the leadership roles). Full application details and specific areas are 

available on the website.
