Priorities Overview
Every year Global Fund for Women receives a huge number of proposals, but can only provide support to 20% organizations. Priority is given to small women-led organizations with no access to larger donor fund, located in a region or country with limited access to funding, working on controversial women’s issues which are difficult to recognize their human rights (sexual and reproductive health rights, LGBTI rights etc.), working with marginalized population (sex workers, lesbian etc.) etc.
Exceptions
In exceptional case, the Global Fund for Women supports mixed gender organizations when they serve marginalized women focused projects such as women with disability, women within LGBTQI organization.
