The Black Feminist Fund is now open to black feminist groups that have bold visions, use innovative strategies and take audacious steps towards self-determination, justice, solidarity and equity.
The aim of Black Feminist Fund is to significantly increase the resources available to Black feminist movements. When Black feminist groups have the resources they deserve, they are strengthened to transform societies. The long-term transfer of resources to Black feminist movements unlocks the power and potential of this change.
The aim of this fund is to put resources into the hands of activists who are advancing their own rights and building their own movements for social change.
