Deadline: April 17, 2018
Call for application is ongoing for the Mama Cash’s Grant 2018. Each year, Mama Cash supports over a 100 women’s, girls’ and trans rights groups that are working to change the world. Mama Cash provides funding and accompaniment support to courageous and inspiring feminist activists worldwide.
They make grants to groups and movements that have the conviction and tenacity to speak out, tell their stories and demand justice, no matter the obstacles. Mama Cash is building the power and strength of the international women’s funding movement by supporting sister women’s funds worldwide.
Through this grant, Mama Cash aims to put resources in the hands of activists who are advancing their own rights and building their own movements for social change. They prioritise groups led by people working together to address issues they experience directly, like domestic workers who are collectively organising for decent work or trans people who are building a movement to secure bodily autonomy.
