Rosa’s Woman to Woman Fund

Share:

The second round of Rosa’s Woman to Woman fund is now open. Grants of between £5,000 and up to and including £25,000 are available to 100 local grassroots women’s organisations across the UK will be supported using funds from the ‘Tampon Tax.’

Grants are available for groups with an income of under £100,000 per year, to support a wide range of charitable work that benefits women: from building confidence and leadership skills, tackling harassment and violence, to training in financial literacy and increasing engagement in decision-making – and much more besides. Rosa is particularly interested in funding work that increases impact and sustainability. Therefore grants can pay for core costs such as staff salaries, office rent and staff training; as well as project costs such as drop-in support services, mobilising volunteers and outreach.

Rosa especially wants to support groups that work with disadvantaged communities or in disadvantaged areas.

As well as grants, Rosa will provide additional support that women’s groups tell us they need, including mentoring, training and networking opportunities.

If you meet the following requirements you can apply for a grant:

• You are a women’s sector organisation
• You are a charitable organisation – your organisation need not be a registered charity, but your activities must be charitable and legal
• You are a local organisation, which is not part of a national enterprise

• You have a written governing document, such as a constitution or set of rules
• You have a governing body with at least 3 unrelated members
