TweetThis! Global Fund for Women : Apply for a grant

Warmest greetings from Global Fund for Women!

The Global Fund for Women supports women's groups that advance the human rights of women and girls. We strengthen women's right groups based outside the United States by providing small, flexible, and timely grants ranging from $500 to $20,000 for operating and program expenses. We value local expertise and believe that women themselves know best how to determine their needs and propose solutions for lasting change.

Who the Global Fund supports

* Groups of women working together.
* Organizations that demonstrate a clear commitment to women’s equality and women’s human rights.
* Organizations that are governed and directed by women.
* Organizations based outside of the United States.

Who the Global Fund does NOT support

* Individuals and Scholarships
* Organizations that do not have a women’s human rights focus.
* Organizations headed or managed by men.
* Organizations whose sole activities are income-generation and/or charity.
* Organizations based or working primarily in the United States.
* Organizations in the Global North proposing partnerships in the Global South.
* Government entities, political parties or election campaigns.


The Global Fund receives over 3,000 proposals a year and is able to award about 600 grants. Due to the large number of applications we receive, please allow seven to nine months to review your request. We accept applications throughout the year and award grants every three months. We will send you a note of receipt within three weeks of receiving your application.

We have three types of grants:
1. General Support Grants
  • These are flexible, small grants that cover general operating and project expenses.
  • Your group must meet ALL the basic criteria (listed under "application requirements" of the grant application form) to be eligible for a grant.
  • A group may only have one proposal of any type under consideration at a given time.
  • Amount granted may be less than the amount requested if and when an award is made.
2. Travel Grants
  • These are small grants that support members of an organization to attend conferences and events.
  • Please note that your group must meet all the basic criteria (listed under "application requirements" of the grant application form) to be eligible for a grant.
  • A group may only have one proposal of any type under consideration at a given time.
  • Amount granted may be less than the amount requested if and when an award is made.
  • Applications for travel and event grants must be received no later than 8 weeks before the beginning of the event. Funds for these kinds of grants are limited.
  • Because our funding for such travel grants is so limited, priority will be given to former grantees of the Global Fund for Women that do not have access to other funding sources.
 3. Organizing Meeting/Event Grants
  • These are small grants to support organizations in planning a time-sensitive conference or event.
  • These types of requests must be received no later than 8 weeks before the beginning of the event.
  • Because our funding for such travel grants is so limited, priority will be given to former grantees of the Global Fund for Women that do not have access to other funding sources.
The Global Fund for Women is committed to providing support to women’s groups throughout the world in a fair and just way. We accept grant proposals in any language and any format. We award grants based on criteria and priorities determined in partnership with women’s rights activists working on the ground. In accordance with U.S. law, the Global Fund for Women is required to comply with all U.S. regulations, please read about how this impacts our grantmaking.
