Grant Seekers
Global Foundation for Girls supports community based & youth serving organizations across the United States as well as NGO’s and Charities in Brazil, Indonesia, South Africa, Trinidad, and Uganda.
Our grantmaking focuses on bolstering and scaling community, youth and infant & maternal health organizations in the global south that are building a strong grassroots base to respond to the needs of women and children of color and children in crisis. We also support organizations that are reducing poor birthing outcomes by expanding access to community-based midwifery and doula care and engaging in birth justice advocacy. In an effort to help shift the racial disparities found in philanthropy, we primarily seek to offer general support and rapid response grants to BIPOC led and managed efficient and effective organizations doing community work on the ground. We award grants through four funds, and provide capacity building programs to grantees and non grantees.
The foundation does not accept unsolicited proposals.
