The Global Fund for Women will not accept proposals from May 18 – September 15, 2012
We are currently reviewing nearly 1000 proposals from across the world! Since we are only able to award grants to about 12% of the proposals we receive, we need time to do a thoughtful and thorough review of current proposals and continue our ongoing work of assessing the impact of past grants. The high volume tells us that high quality resources for women’s human rights worldwide are more urgently needed than ever.
In order to ensure our leading role in securing those resources, we will not accept proposals from May 18 to September 15. New and previous grantee partner proposals sent by May 18 will be included in our review process. The break also gives us the opportunity to make grants from the existing pool that showcase the best practices, impact, and analyses of emerging trends from women’s movements worldwide.
Thank you for your commitment and understanding. You may send questions to the regional contact:

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 $30,000 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.
