Kosovo Women's Fund

Nontraditional Participatory grantmaking

A small-grants fund run by the Kosovo Women's Network for women's organisations in Kosovo and the surrounding region, weighted toward groups serving rural and marginalised women and girls. Grants are small and flexible, and every grant is paired with tailored capacity development — grant writing, project management, financial management and advocacy — so the fund is as much a capacity-building instrument as a money instrument. That pairing is what lets a small rural organisation become a credible research or evaluation partner.
