Call summary :

WomenStrong International provides unrestricted grants to women-led organizations working in their communities. We strive to make our application process as burden-free as possible, in alignment with the gender-equitable principles of both us and our grantees.

We have no geographic limitations to where we fund.

We are passionate about investing in organizations with an entrepreneurial spirit that need support to validate or advance their early-stage, non-traditional ideas for tackling the greatest challenges facing women and girls. We want to fund organizations where a small investment will have a large impact.

We ask that our grantee partners join the WomenStrong Learning Lab. The Learning Lab is a (mostly) virtual community that brings our partners together to share, learn, and disseminate findings that can advance the evidence base for what works to improve the lives of women and girls. The Lab also provides opportunities for our partners to strengthen their capacity and connect with each other, so that they might strengthen their work and develop, test, sharpen, and disseminate their solutions more broadly.

To date, WomenStrong International has supported women-driven organizations around the world that address one or more of the following issues: Girls’ Education and Empowerment, Women’s Health, Violence Against Women and Girls, and Economic Security and Opportunity.
From November 1, 2024, WomenStrong will be actively seeking potential grantees that identify as local women-led organizations working in urban and peri-urban areas on climate and/or environmental justice-related issues and taking a gender-responsive approach.
