Global Fund for Women Offers Grants to Women's Groups Outside the United States

The Global Fund for Women works to strengthen women's organizations outside the United States by providing small, flexible, and timely grants in general support ranging from $500 to $15,000.

The fund supports organizations that demonstrate a commitment to women's equality and female human rights; show concern about the way women are viewed and view themselves in society; are governed and directed by women; consist of a group of women working together (the fund does not accept requests from individuals); and are based outside of the United States. The Global Fund accepts grant requests in any language. Applications may be handwritten or typed, and may be sent by mail, fax, or email.

The Global Fund for Women also administers the Preston Education Fund for Girls, which supports schools, teacher training and curriculum programs, locally based community organizations, non-governmental organizations, local women's associations and women's rights, organizations, and coalitions focused on the issue of girls education.
