Flexible. Fast. Activist-Driven Funding.
Feminist movements have been under-resourced for generations. The majority of grantmaking globally is slow-moving: public and private funders alike continue to favor lengthy application timelines, burdensome requirements and longer-term outcomes.
Through our grants, Urgent Action Fund for Feminist Activism provides fast, flexible resources to frontline feminist movements to support women, trans, and non-binary activists so that they can respond to unexpected risks and opportunities, protect and care for themselves and one another, and nurture feminist movements that are creating a more just and equitable world.
