The fund offers grants to women’s and girls’ organisations to support campaigning and influencing work that enables women and girls to use their voice to achieve change. This year, grants have increased from £7,000 to £10,000 and will cover an 18-month period.
Applications will be accepted from not-for-profit women’s sector voluntary and community organisations in the UK that have been active for at least one year and can produce annual accounts for an entire year.
They must meet Rosa’s definition of a women’s and girls’ organisation as those which are run by, for and with women and girls:
- Their organisation will be goverened and led by women.
- They will have a Board of Trustees (or similar) where the Chair is a woman, and the majority of members are women.
- The majority of their organisations employee leadership team will be women.
- Their organisation will have the principal objective of working with women and/or girls and the majority of their organisations beneficiaries are, and always be, women and/or girls.
Full details, including priorities, of the new round will be provided when the Fund reopens on 5th November 2024.
