The
Young Feminist Fund mobilizes resources, funds and strengthens the
participation and leadership of young feminist activists globally. The goal
of The Young Feminist Fund (FRIDA) is to provide accessible, strategic and
responsive funding for young feminist-led initiatives, and to strengthen the
capacity of young feminist organizations to both leverage their own resources
and increase their social change impact. FRIDA invites applications from
groups led by young women and transgender youth under 30 years of age for
grants of up to USD 5,000. |

Be Part of the Selection
Process…You Decide!
As part of our commitment
to movement building FRIDA engages young feminist activists in the grant
decision-making process. We view this as a collective decision-making process.
Applicants who meet FRIDA’s criteria are expected to vote for their top
proposal choices and give comments on their selections (groups may not vote for
their own proposals). In voting, we ask that groups keep in mind what they think
is important for the promotion and defense of the rights of young women in
their region and globally. After voting the results are tallied and grantees
are selected.
Expectations of
Successful Groups:
All grantees will be
required to sign a grant agreement, which will outline accounting, reporting,
and other terms and conditions regarding how funds will be distributed. Further
details on reporting will be provided after grants have been approved.
