In every corner of the world, women, girls, and gender expansive people are full of power. The power to create. The power to reveal and reinvent. The power to grow, nourish, and heal.
But too many institutions that weren’t made for us or by us are standing in the way, or not moving fast enough to deliver the social and structural changes we demand and deserve. The Equality Fund believes this is unacceptable—so we’re building a power base of our own: the most ambitious fund for gender equality in history, inspired by feminists, managed by feminists, in collaboration with and in service of feminist movements worldwide.
The status quo isn’t working. So we’re betting on a new strategy that liberates our movements from unsustainable models of the past, and accelerates the revolutionary, unfulfilled power of women, girls, and gender expansive people everywhere.
We do this work through:Â
Global GrantmakingÂ
At the Equality Fund, we robustly resource women’s rights organizations and feminist movements worldwide by partnering with organizations, coalitions, and networks focused on building power with women, girls, and gender expansive people around the world. We ground our work in mutual trust, respect, and collaboration.
Gender-Lens Investing
Guided by an unapologetic feminist analysis, our Investment program seeks to shift the financial ecosystem so that it better serves both people and the planet. It will support change by helping to finance our grantmaking and drive change by influencing the financial ecosystem, simultaneously.
Policy & Strategic Partnerships
Resourcing women’s rights organizations and feminist movements is fundamental to a more just, peaceful, and sustainable future.
At the Equality Fund, we aim to shape and contribute to discussions around the world on the policy issues that influence how money is invested in feminist change—by governments, philanthropists, and the private sector.
With each step forward, our community is building that road to full equality, together. We know that when we move together, we move the world.
