Mama Cash grantmaking (Solidarity Fund and Spark Fund)

Nontraditional Participatory grantmaking

Eligibility

Groups must be self-led by the communities affected: women, girls, and trans and intersex people. Mama Cash states it will not fund individuals, political parties, government agencies or religious institutions, and will not fund anti-sex-work activity. Universities are not named as eligible; an academic partner would work with a grantee group rather than apply. The Solidarity Fund is aimed at women's funds that themselves make grants.
