We are the largest source of funding for women’s rights

The Global Fund awarded $8.9 million in grants in FY10-11 — more than in any previous year. This brings the cumulative total of grants awarded, since our inception in 1987, to more than $93 million. Even though we invested more funds than ever before in women’s rights groups worldwide, we were only able to give over 600 grants out of the over 1,900 eligible women’s groups who applied to us for funding this fiscal year. Imagine what we can accomplish with more resources.

When you join the Global Fund, you’re joining a community of 10,000 donors

We couldn't do this work without individual contributions like yours. Donations from individuals account for more than half of our annual income. When we work together, small donations add up. We believe that real philanthropy means each and every one of you can make a difference.

We have a strong expense ratio

This fiscal year, our staff reviewed thousands of proposals in over a dozen languages, contacted hundreds of advisors, and prepared hundreds of contracts, checks or wires for organizations all over the world. We can't give grants in a respectful way without the infrastructure to do so. We continue to maintain our historically strong expense ratios,  with 77 cents of every dollar raised spent directly on programmatic activities. The remaining 23% was split between fundraising (14%) management and general (9%).

We maintain a clean bill of financial health

We are pleased to have received our 10th consecutive clean independent audit. The Global Fund understands the importance of good financial stewardship, and places an extremely high value on the public trust bestowed upon us by our donors and grantees.
