Renewed Women's Voice and Leadership – Bangladesh (RWVL-B)

Nontraditional Participatory grantmaking

A national intermediary fund in Bangladesh that re-grants multi-year core funding to grassroots women's rights, feminist and community-based organisations and to networks led and managed by women and gender-diverse groups. The support is deliberately institutional rather than project-bound — institutional strengthening, grassroots implementation and movement-building — and applications open with a short Expression of Interest accepted in Bangla or English, which lowers the barrier for organisations that could never assemble a donor-standard English proposal.
