Solidarity Fund

As the world’s first international women’s fund, Mama Cash is deeply committed to strengthening the feminist funding ecosystem in general, and the women’s funds community in particular. Launched in early 2020, the Solidarity Fund is a dedicated pot of funding intended for the strengthening of women’s funds.
Women’s funds support the world’s most innovative, courageous and transformative feminist movements.

Women’s funds are a key part of the funding and support infrastructure needed for feminist movements to hold the line, advance their agendas, and resist attacks and backlash! Participatory grantmaking designed in the spirit of radical trust and radical solidarity.

Participatory grantmaking can be a more equitable, just, transparent, and accountable form of grantmaking. The Solidarity Fund is designed to assist women’s funds as they collaboratively make the decisions that are best for our peers and that will strengthen the feminist funding ecosystem.
