Re-granting
We receive investments from a wide variety of partners and re-grant these funds to a diverse portfolio of like-minded local implementing partners around the world, who share our vision for girls’ and women’s rights. We prioritise investing in girl- and women-led organisations and strive to support re-grantees with long-term flexible funding. Through participatory grant-making processes, we aim to develop leadership, shift power, and transfer decision-making into the hands of girls and women from the communities we serve.
Fiscal hosting
Women Win is the fiscal host of a variety of initiatives aligned with our vision and missions. We provide a safe and stable philanthropic infrastructure, extending legal and tax-exempt status so emerging organisations and activists can receive funds, operate, and thrive while doing their best work.
Women Win also partners with funders and collaborative funding mechanisms to support moving funds, enabling them to focus on their mission whilst our team conducts the due diligence, and provides the financial and operational framework.
With offices in the United States and the Netherlands, and with almost 20 years of experience ensuring funds arrive to women’s rights activists in the most challening global and regional settings, Women Win is invested in building trust-based relationships and deep connections, democratising philanthropy, and supporting long-term philanthropic transformation.

- Catalysing unlikely alliances
