Timing

By invitationNo specific published date recorded. This funder publishes a cycle rather than a date, and this database does not invent one.The fund states it occasionally opens calls for applications in specific contexts, but most grantmaking relies on local advisors, regional knowledge, long-term relationships and partner referrals. It directs interested groups to its newsletter for future open calls.

Who can apply

Community organisation, Practitioner

Eligibility

Groups led by girls and young feminists that are impacted by and responding to crisis. Most funding moves through local advisors, activist networks and partner referrals rather than open competition, so being known to a regional advisor matters more than paperwork. Universities are not the applicant; a researcher connects through a grantee or partner organisation.
