If you are wanting to grow hope in your heart, and empower other women at the same time, this might be an organisation you can get behind. 

The Global Fund for Women is an international nonprofit that supports women-led movements working toward gender justice and equality across the world. Established in the late 1980s, the organisation was created in response to a major gap in funding for women’s rights initiatives, particularly those led by grassroots groups closest to the issues they are trying to change. Its work spans many areas, including safety, economic security, health, education, leadership, and human rights, with a strong emphasis on supporting communities that are often overlooked by traditional funding models.

At the heart of the Global Fund for Women’s approach is the belief that lasting change happens when local activists are trusted to lead their own solutions. Instead of imposing agendas, the organisation provides flexible funding and long-term support that allows movements to grow in ways that reflect their cultural, political, and social realities. By investing directly in women- and gender-diverse-led organisations across dozens of countries, the Fund helps strengthen collective action, amplify underrepresented voices, and build sustainable momentum for systemic change.
