Giving more so women can do more

After 25 years of funding women’s human rights organizations throughout the world, Mama Cash recently launched its new grantmaking strategy. The key changes from our work in the past are a switch from a regional to an issues-based approach, giving longer-term and larger grants, and giving fewer grants. By focusing on a smaller pool of groups, we hope to gain a deeper understanding of the issues they are addressing, and to better assist our grantees to create and take opportunities to learn, grow, and effectively defend and advance women’s and girls’ rights.
