Co-Impact Gender Fund
20 December, 2021
Co-Impact is excited to announce its Open Call for Country-level Grants to advance gender equality. We envision a gender-equal world where all people can live fulfilling lives – where systems and societies are just and inclusive, and women and girls belong in all places where decisions are made. To enable us to partner with a wide range of organizations, we will provide three grant types – Anchor, Domain, and Catalytic – each with its own purpose, range, and requirement for selection.
This open call is an invitation to Global South and locally-rooted organizations – civil society groups, think-tanks and academic institutions, professional associations and networks, women’s rights groups, and feminist and allied movements, among others. Through this Fund, Co-Impact will support initiatives that are working to make systems just and inclusive and advance women’s leadership at all levels. We invite you to apply and join us in moving towards the common goal of transforming systems for women and girls to rise and thrive in leadership positions at all levels – in the household, in their communities and the highest national institutions.
Through this open call for country-level grants, we will:
- Support organizations that address root causes and foster systemic change.
- Provide flexible and longer-term funding, including dedicated resources for organizational strengthening.
- Ensure that 100% of the grants will go to Global South and locally-rooted organizations and at least 75% of our grants will be to women-led organizations. Co-Impact invites initiatives that focus on countries listed below:
- Africa: Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, and South Africa.
- Asia: India, Indonesia, Philippines, and Sri Lanka.
- Latin America: Brazil, Mexico, and Peru.
- Prioritize an intersectional lens throughout our process – during the review, diligence, and selection.
- Respect that the organizations we partner with are in the driver’s seat and best placed to determine the most effective approaches to achieve enduring change.
We recognize the critical role that Women’s Rights Organizations and Feminist Movements play in advancing gender equality. Co-Impact commits to ensuring at least 10% of our funding will go to organizations that identify as these groups.
The deadline for submission is 20 December 2021. To apply, please see more details at the link below.
