Our Collective Giving Model

Our impact starts with our collective giving model. Every gift we receive is combined with thousands of others and used to fund grants and partnerships that make life-changing differences for women and girls in the Global South. In this way, we can create a greater impact than any individual can create on their own!

Our Grants &
Partnerships Program

We fund organizations and projects that:

  • address the varied issues and needs of women and girls in the Global South
  • are carefully vetted
  • are locally-led
  • provide solutions identified by the women and girls served
  • create measurable change
  • ensure sustainability and ongoing impact

These investments allow women and girls to live freely and safely, rise out of poverty, and become powerful agents of change within their communities.

Featured Grants

Our Featured Grants are awarded through an annual application process and fund organizations or specific projects that provide direct services to women and girls, such as:

  • increasing girls’ access to education and their agency
  • supporting women-led businesses
  • preventing gender-based violence and other harmful practices such as child marriage
  • enhancing maternal and child health
  • providing cervical cancer screenings or treatment for obstetric fistula

Many of our grants fund integrated approaches that address multiple, interconnected challenges and create an even greater and more sustainable impact!

Transformation
Partnerships

Funding direct services is crucial, but we know it will take more to truly achieve gender equality globally. That’s why we also fund organizations working to create broader, systemic change.

Through our Transformation Partnerships, we are addressing the root causes of gender inequality. These are longer term relationships to transform the social and cultural norms, beliefs, practices, and laws so women have equal access to resources, decision-making power, and opportunity. Some examples:

  • Changing the banking system to support women entrepreneurs
  • Promoting women’s land rights
  • Engaging men and boys in the fight for gender equality
  • Changing the laws that hold women back

Learning & Community Building

Together, women rise when we come together in community to create change in the world.

Because awareness is the first step toward change, education is a core part of Together Women Rise’s impact. We bring gender equality issues to the forefront, increasing awareness of the barriers faced by women around the world and how a more equal and just world will benefit everyone.

From local chapter meetings to educational webinars and trips, we provide a variety of opportunities to learn, connect, and make a difference together. Our members become well-informed advocates and supporters of global women’s rights.

At the same time, we are building community and fostering a sense of belonging!
