Past Grant Partners
Since our inception in 2006, we have worked with over 75 women-led organizations in more than 18 different countries.
What they all had in common was that they were grassroots groups led by and for women making a significant impact to women and girls in their communities by telling US what THEY need to impact their communities.
While our focus has sharpened and our grant processes and policies have evolved, we have always remined true to our purpose and the tenet that those we serve are the experts. We are fortunate and honored to be able to support and ignite their work.
They Stand Up. Step Forward. Use Their Voices.
Collectively, they are changing the world.
