apply for a grant - Mama Cash

Apply for a grant > women and girls' organisations

Mama Cash supports ambitious feminist and women's rights organisations and initiatives led by and for women and girls.

Mama Cash also supports the human rights movements of trans people. We welcome applications from trans organisations that fulfill our eligibility criteria, regardless of the gender-identity of their members and leadership.

Mama Cash is a fund with limited resources. More groups apply for funding than we can fund. In 2011, we received almost 1,500 funding requests of which we could approve a number of 87. This means we have to make difficult decisions on which groups we can and cannot support. The Mama Cash selection criteria and priorities are leading in our decision-making process. Thank you for your understanding.
