About: We are part of a global women’s movement that is rooted in a commitment to justice and an appreciation of the value of women’s experience. The challenges women face vary widely across communities, cultures, religions, traditions and countries. We believe that women should have a full range of choices, and that women themselves know best how to determine their needs and propose solutions for lasting change. The way in which we do our work is as important as what we do. This philosophy is reflected in our flexible, respectful and responsive style of grantmaking.
The Global Fund makes grants to seed, strengthen and link women’s rights groups based outside the United States working to address human rights issues that include:
- Ending Gender-Based Violence and Building Peace;
- Ensuring Economic and Environmental Justice;
- Advancing Health and Sexual and Reproductive Rights;
- Expanding Civic and Political Participation;
- Increasing Access to Education;
- Fostering Social Change Philanthropy.
