Funding to support campaigning and influencing work that enables women and girls in the UK to use their voices to achieve change.

Now in its sixth year, Rosa’s Voices from the Frontline Fund offers one-year grants of between £500 and £7,000. This year, Rosa expects to award between 30 and 35 grants.

The funding is for women’s and girls’ organisations to deliver activism and campaigning to raise awareness of the issues women and girls face. The campaigns could be targeted at local communities, the general public, local or national government, media, service providers or businesses.

Applications will be accepted from not-for-profit women's sector voluntary and community organisations in the UK that have been active for at least one year and can produce annual accounts for an entire year.

They must meet Rosa’s definition of a women’s and girls’ organisation as those which are run by, for and with women and girls:

Their organisation will be governed and led by women.
They will have a Board of Trustees (or similar) where the Chair is a woman, and the majority of members are women.
The majority of their organisation’s employee leadership team will be women.
Their organisation will have the principal objective of working with women and/or girls and the majority of their organisation’s beneficiaries are, and will always be, women and/or girls.

Priority will be given to the following organisations, not listed in priority order that are:

Operating in the top 20% of the most disadvantaged areas in the UK based on the Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD).
Based in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
Led by and for Black and minoritised women and girls.

With the rising cost of living and global pandemic worsening inequalities and threatening to push back women’s and girls’ rights, we need collective action now more than ever.

There is a critical need for funding for women’s and girls’ organisations to deliver activism and campaigning, particularly at the grassroots, and to raise awareness of the issues they face. This enables learning, awareness-raising, momentum-building, and campaigning all rooted in the strength of collective action.

The deadline for applications is 4pm on Thursday 3rd of November 2022.
