Resourcing Feminist Movements

Toward movement-led funding practices

Around the world, feminist, gender justice, and allied movements are confronting power and reimagining the systems that shape our societies. These contributions come in many forms—from political advocacy to daily acts of resistance and survival—but all require  sustained funding, resourcing, and long-term support to thrive.

Resourcing Feminist Movements

Overview

We shine a light on the current state of the funding ecosystem, which ranges from autonomous resourcing to more formal funding streams. We influence how funding flows, unlock new resources and  build collective strategies that support thriving, robust, and resilient movements.

Through our research and movement engagement, we explore the contradictions and challenges shaping the current landscape, especially in the face of increasing political repression, growing pressure for funding to deliver short-term results, and rising corporate power. 

Our Tactics

We are committed as ever for more and better resources for feminist movements, while aiming for more accountability from funders and more power in the hands of the movements.

“Where is the money for women’s rights? … the resources simply do not match the scale of the commitments.”
