The organization makes grants, ranging from $35,000 to $45,000, to programs that foster good health, education, and economic self-sufficiency for women and/or girls in developing countries. Potential areas of funding include education, women’s healthcare, reproductive rights, family planning, food and water security, policy, law, advocacy, property rights, and environmental sustainability. Eligible applicants must: tie funding to direct impact on individuals’ lives; provide evidence of long-term sustainability and program success; direct a minimum of 75 percent of expenses to programs; have either 501(c)(3) status, or be a foreign nonprofit organization operating with a U.S. nonprofit sponsor; provide informative organizational web sites in English; and be able to provide relevant educational resources (including a short video of populations served). Priority is given to organizations that: address the needs of women and girls from marginalized populations; work in a region or country with both extreme need and limited funding resources; are led and organized by women; demonstrate the use of community-based participatory problem solving; provide support material and information for education on critical issues.
