About Third Wave Fund - Mobilize Power Fund

The Mobilize Power Fund is a rapid response fund that resources gender justice organizations to adapt or pivot their work when met with unanticipated, time-sensitive opportunities or threats to their movement building work and organizing conditions. 

​The Mobilize Power Fund prioritizes organizations that are responding to specific incidents or changes of circumstances that have occurred in the last six months. This can include rapid response mobilizations, healing justice work, conflict resolution/conflict transformation, community accountability, mutual aid, direct actions, emergency safety, security, and defense needs, and more. This fund prioritizes groups and organizations who are experiencing an unanticipated incident. Because of this, organizations applying on behalf of a budget shortfall or preplanned events or ongoing programming will not be prioritized.

Benefits of Third Wave Fund - Mobilize Power Fund

The Mobilize Power Fund provides different levels of support depending on whether an organization applies individually or as a partnership.

  • Individual organizations: Up to $10,000 USD.
  • Partnerships or coalitions: Up to $20,000 USD for two or more groups.
  • Funding is intended for rapid responses rather than routine organizational expenses or preplanned activities.

The proposed funding should directly address the specific incident or changing circumstance described in the application.
