topics/subjects:
FRIDA’s mission is to provide accessible,
strategic and responsive funding for young feministled initiatives. FRIDA aims to strengthen the capacity
of young feminist organizations to leverage resources
for their work and to increase donors’ and allies’
commitments to resourcing young feminist activism.
FRIDA defines young feminist activists as young people
between 18-30 years old from across the gender spectrum
committed to advancing gender equality and
women’s rights through feminist means. The term
‘feminist’ refers to “individuals working with women’s
movements or in other social movements to advance the
rights of equality, justice, dignity, freedom, and safety of
women, girls and marginalized groups”.

The Fund for Global Human Rights works
to secure basic freedoms for people around the world.
Its grants program funds non-governmental, non-profit
organizations working to promote respect for human rights
in the countries and regions in which they are based. The
fund has 17 focus countries in South Asia, West Africa,
African Great Lakes, North Africa, Southeast Asia, and
Latin America. The Fund has crafted specific regional
strategies designed to make the most impact with limited
resources for specific countries and regions where they
believe strategic grant-making can make a difference in
advancing human rights protections over time. The Fund
acts as an ally of activists in strengthening human rights
movements and believes in maintaining a long-term focus
in each of the regions and countries where it operates.
Women-led organizations are strongly encouraged to apply.
