Our grantmaking work includes setting grantmaking priorities, receiving and reviewing grant applications, selecting grantees, completing due diligence, processing payments, collecting and analyzing grantee final reports, and communicating with grantees throughout the grantmaking cycle. It also includes evaluating impact and bringing our grantees together.

Our advocacy program raises awareness, highlights grantee stories, engages new audiences, and influences others to bring money and attention to women’s human rights globally.

Global Fund for Women is a public foundation. As such, we are grateful for our many donors who support the critical work we do in the fight for gender equality.
