The members of this Field of Interest Fund (FOIF) that focuses on MENA discuss with program and development staff trends and chal- lenges facing grantees. For example, a recent conversation featured Afifa Dirani Arsanios, Lebanese advisor, who described how the March 2005 political transition in Lebanon affect- ed women. Another FOIF is the Women’s Media Fund. In April 2005, Dorothy Abbott raised $14,500 for the Women’s Media Fund through her walk across India that commemorat- ed Mahatma Gandhi’s Salt March. This was in addition to her regular FOIF contribution. FOIFS enable donors to expand connections to grassroots activists while developing a community with other activist donors. Each donor pledges to make gifts of $20,000 or more.This year, the two Funds raised $333,445 for the Global Fund. For more informa- tion about FOIFs, please contact Nicky McIntyre at 415-202-7640. Often what might seem like a small amount of money to us will make a big difference in the lives of women and their families in other countries. For example: IN NEPAL helps the NEPAL DISABLED AND NEGLECTED WOMEN SOCIETY educate and train women with disabilities, then helps them find jobs so that they may live independently and contribute to their communities. IN RWANDA allows the UNION FOR THE EMANCIPATION OF INDIGENOUS WOMEN (Union pour l’Emancipation de la Femme Autochtone) to provide school supplies and pay for school for 200 indigenous girls, daughters of the displaced survivors of the Rwandan genocide. IN AFGHANISTAN enables the WOMEN ACTIVITIES AND SOCIAL SERVICES ASSOCIATION to publish and distribute Mehr, the first women’s newsletter in Herat.
$35 $100 $250 IN BULGARIA covers expenses for one woman lawyer to participate in the BULGARIAN GENDER RESEARCH FOUNDATION’S training in how to win cases on behalf of women who have been trafficked, sexually harassed or abused by their partners. IN ECUADOR enables the MATILDE

YOUR SUPPORT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD! 41 GRANT GUIDELINES The Global Fund awards grants ranging from $500 to $20,000 to women’s groups working on many different issues. Priority may be given to groups that address emerging or unconven- tional issues; have limited access to other donors; are based in especially disadvantaged countries or regions; or serve marginalized groups of women. Our grants enable grantee recipients to cover operating expenses as well as project costs.We also make grants that enable women’s organiza- tions to organize or participate in training seminars or conferences that promote women’s human rights.The programmatic areas in which we fund are: • Building Peace & Ending Gender-Based Violence • Advancing Health and Sexual & Reproductive Rights • Expanding Civic & Political Participation • Ensuring Economic & Environmental Justice • Increasing Access to Education • Fostering Social Change Philanthropy GRANT CRITERIA To be considered for a grant, your group must meet all of the following criteria: • It is based in a country outside the US.We rarely fund US- based organizations. • It demonstrates a strong com- mitment to women’s equality and human rights that is clearly reflected in its activities. • It is a group of women working together.We do not accept requests from individuals. • It is governed, directed or led by women.Women must fill all or most of the leadership positions. • It is not a government entity or multilateral organization. • Its sole purpose is not to gener- ate income or to provide chari- ty to individuals. • It is not a political party or elections campaign.
The Global Fund accepts grant requests in any language or for- mat. Letters of inquiry or grant applications may be handwritten or typed, and may be sent to our office in San Francisco by post, fax or e-mail. More details about our crite- ria and an application form are available on-line at: www.global- fundforwomen.org. Note: Requests to organize or attend meetings and confer- ences must arrive in our office no later than eight weeks before the event begins.
A diverse and professional staff reviews grant applications. Our review process is informed by the local knowledge and expertise of our international advisory coun- cil. All final decisions are made by the Global Fund’s Board of Directors, which reflects the international diversity of our net- work and includes donors, advi- sors, activists, scholars and grantees. Due to the high volume of proposals we receive, it takes up to six months to review a request. We accept applications throughout the year and award grants every three months. A notice of receipt of application is sent within three weeks of its arrival.
