The Global Fund's work is grounded in the belief that giving can be an act of social change, and that by connecting people with opportunities for giving we are building a global community of advocates for the rights of women.   Our grantees know that a grant from the Global Fund represents the collective support of individuals and institutions that believe in their capacity to address complex challenges.  They know that each grant comes from women and men who trust in the work and see them not as subjects of charity, but as agents of their own change.

 

IN KIND DONORS - Thank you!

The Global Fund for Women is a nonprofit grantmaking foundation that advances women's human rights worldwide. We are a network of women and men who believe that ensuring women's full equality and participation in society is one of the most effective ways to build a just, peaceful and sustainable world.

While many charity groups send aid money to developing countries, the Global Fund does not view grantees as passively accepting funds, but rather as equal partners in a movement towards building a more equitable and just world. Unlike other foundations, the Global Fund doesn’t go into an area with a pre-planned project and figure out how to implement it. Rather, the Global Fund makes grants that respect the knowledge and priorities women define in their own communities.  They listen to the challenges women face and how they propose to solve them. The Global Fund also cuts out the “middle man” and allows donations to go directly to the grantees

WHO WE ARE

Click to learn more: GLOBAL FUND FOR WOMEN

We are part of a global women's movement that is rooted in a commitment to justice and an appreciation of the value of women's experience. The challenges women face vary widely across communities, cultures, religions, traditions and countries. We believe that women should have a full range of choices, and that women themselves know best how to determine their needs and propose solutions for lasting change. The way in which we do our work is as important as what we do. This philosophy is reflected in our flexible, respectful and responsive style of grantmaking.

The Global Fund makes grants to seed, strengthen and link women's rights groups based outside the United States working to address human rights issues that include:

  • Ending Gender-Based Violence  and Building Peace
  • Ensuring Economic and Environmental Justice 
  • Advancing Health and Sexual and Reproductive Rights
  • Expanding Civic and Political Participation
  • Increasing Access to Education
  • Fostering Social Change Philanthropy
