Practically matching their overall income, Mama Cash lists their total expenditures as over €13.3 million.

In keeping the ball rolling, Mama Cash has opened their 2017 grantmaking window for non-current grantee-partners. The fund urges applicants to consider their selection criteria and priority before applying as last year they approved 1.5% of all requests due to limited resources.

They will be receiving Letters of Interest from applicants from 15 March – 15 May 2017. Mama Cash will deliver responses by 15 June 2017.
