    ABOUT THE EQUALITY FUND

    The Equality Fund is transforming the way that resources—and power—flow into the hands of women, girls and gender expansive people worldwide. Designed by feminists for feminists, it is a model for sustainably resourcing feminist movements everywhere, through global grantmaking, gender-lens investing, policy advocacy, and feminist philanthropy. Launched in 2019, the Equality Fund has committed $86 million in grantmaking to individual organisations, feminist and women’s rights funds, feminist convenings and feminist crises responses to date, which flows to more than 800 organizations working across 100 countries.
