Who Can Fund My Women’s Rights Organizing?
Responding to one of the key demands from
AWID’s members and constituencies, we offer this searchable donor list to make
it easier for feminist and women’s rights organizations to connect with the
right kind of funders. Women’s rights and feminist organizations are sparking
powerful changes across the world, yet AWID’s Where is the Money for Women’s
Rights (WITM) research consistently shows that women’s rights organizing is
significantly underfunded. This tool attempts to bridge the information gap on
funding sources and make it easier for women’s rights and feminist
organizations to find funders working in their countries, regions, or
supporting issues and populations they are working with.
To search for funders, select options in
any or all of the dropdown menus. You may only select a country or a region,
not both.
This is a dynamic tool that will be updated
regularly. If you have feedback, funder information to add or questions on this
tool, please contact fundher@awid.org.
