Black Feminist Fund

Black Feminist Fund is sponsored by Black Feminist Fund (fiscally sponsored by Global Fund for Women). The Black Feminist Fund provides core, long-term grants and solidarity initiatives to support Black feminist movements worldwide. It focuses on groups led by Black women, girls, trans, and intersex people, promoting human rights and collective power globally.

The first global institution of its kind, we are ambitiously funding movements doing powerful, transformative, and intersectional work. We support movements that are fighting against systems of oppression and building another world that is affirming of Black women and gender expansive people. We are changing the way Black feminist groups are supported.

The Black Feminist Fund emerged from a decade-long conversation between a group of Black feminists with a vision. It started just like that: Black feminists sitting around the kitchen table sharing our thoughts, feelings, and frustrations about Black women and gender expansive people’s organizing being unrecognized, disempowered, lacking resources, and the constant need to do twice as much for half as little.

Through research, we get to the bottom of the under-resourcing of Black feminist movements. We reveal the extent and the reasons for philanthropy missing the mark. But we don’t stop there.

We seek to change it. In our first year of grantmaking, the Black Feminist Fund has disrupted **deeply rooted****gendered and racialized biases** in access to funding by giving **eight-year core grants**. _We are changing the way Black feminist groups are resourced.

_**Together, we can do more. **
