UN Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women and Girls

Deadline: November 19, 2025

Civil society organizations on the frontlines of ending violence against women and girls are facing intensive pressure: shrinking civil space, rising opposition and widening funding gaps. At the same time, demand for life-saving services and prevention of violence against women and girls (VAWG) is greater than ever. This Call for Proposals responds to the urgent need for long-term, flexible support to ensure feminist organizations can stay resilient and continue leading progress for all women and girls. The UN Trust Fund is seeking proposals in English, French and Spanish from civil society initiatives to end violence against women and girls, offering four-year grants of up to US $800,000.

Community Foundation Tampa Bay, Critical Needs List Grant

ECMC Foundation

Rolling Deadline

We make grants and investments that fit within one of our three strategic priorities, and we are particularly interested in those proposals that focus on implementing systemic reforms to improve postsecondary outcomes for students from underserved backgrounds.

Staff will determine, based on the submitted letter of inquiry, whether a request fits with an existing initiative or falls under our strategically responsive grantmaking.

Edge Fund

Rolling Deadline

Edge Fund began from the ground up as a participatory grantmaking fund in 2012. The people who set it up had experience as activists or funders, and many as both. If community organising and community development could involve the people affected by decisions, then why couldn’t funding happen the same way? The capitalist system and the culture surrounding it creates winners and losers. It’s time for the voices of those who have been oppressed and marginalised. If we continue to leave decisions about funding to those who hold the wealth and power, real system change will not occur.

National Lottery Heritage Grants

Rolling Deadline

National Lottery Heritage Grants is our funding programme for all types of heritage projects in the UK.
