About the Organization

Together Women Rise is a powerful community of women and allies dedicated to achieving global gender equality. We have hundreds of local chapters across the U.S. where members learn about and advocate for gender equality issues, give grants to organizations that empower women and girls in low-income countries, and build community to forge meaningful connections that increase our strength and collective impact.

About the Grant

Through our Featured Grants Program, Together Women Rise provides funding to organizations that empower and support women and girls in low-income and marginalized communities in the Global South. We feature a different organization/project each month, providing extensive learning materials on the project and the issue being addressed, and promoting it through our nationwide chapters, website, newsletters, and social media. Grantees are assigned to be featured in a specific month based on an issue area and geography.

• We support capacity building, new programs, or expansion of existing programs.
• We award at least 12 Featured Grants per calendar year.
• Featured Grant term is 24 months (2 years).
• Featured Grant size is $35,000 to $50,000 paid over a two-year period.
• Only organizations with budgets of $100,000 and above may apply.
• Only organizations with less than $1M in operating budget can apply for capacity building grants. These grants can span all operational aspects (e.g., technology, strategic planning, monitoring and evaluation, staff training), with restrictions that apply to all featured grants.
• Organizations may receive no more than one Featured Grant per four-year period.
