Global Fund for Women

Grants and grantee services: in fy24, we awarded approximately 340 grants totaling almost $14 million to 294 organizations in 73 countries. Our grantmaking helped strengthen and sustain gender justice movements around the world, including groups working to advance climate justice in the caribbean and pacific island regions and across africa; gender justice in the balkans; sexual and reproductive health and rights in west and east africa; freedom from gender-based violence in peru; domestic workers rights in india; and more. We provided crisis support funding to gender justice organizations in response to political and health crises and climate-induced disasters, as well as providing ongoing support to national and regional Women's funds. Our crisis response work particularly focused on ukraine, palestine, sudan, and afghanistan. We also funded Global advocacy work, initiatives on anti-corruption, and innovative approaches to finding and funding emerging gender justice movements.

Brand and culture: in fy24, we promoted gender justice by flipping the script on traditional philanthropy, amplifying the voices of feminist activists, and giving movement leaders what they need to succeed. We launched new campaigns to raise awareness of the groundbreaking work of grassroots gender justice movements. We also led a process for feminist accountability for commitments from the generation equality forum; supported artists working at the intersection of gender justice movements and creativity; provided communications support to movements; and worked with our adolescent girls' advisory council to advance our work in youth-led participatory grantmaking.

Fiscal sponsorship:we fiscally sponsor projects that support gender justice and feminist movements across the globe that align with our mission and charitable purpose.
