About Together Women Rise Grants

Together Women Rise provides funding to organizations that empower and support women and girls in low-income and marginalized communities in the Global South. They feature a different organization/project each month, providing extensive learning materials on the project and the issue being addressed, and promoting it through our nationwide chapters, website, newsletters, and social media. Grantees are assigned to be featured in a specific month based on an issue area and geography.

Benefits of Together Women Rise Grants

• Grant amount: $35,000–$50,000

Together Women Rise Grants Requirements

In order to be considered for a Featured Grant, you must provide evidence that your organization meets ALL of Together Women Rise’s eligibility requirements.

• Applicant must be a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization or have a fiscal sponsor which is a US 501(c)3 corporation. We do not accept registration documents issued by any other country. A fiscal sponsor is a US non-profit organization that provides fiduciary oversight, financial management, and other administrative services to help build the capacity of charitable organizations that do not have a US 501(c)(3) designation. An applicant that does not have a US 501(c)(3) designation can submit an application to Together Women Rise with a fiscal sponsor if they have a verifiable present relationship with that fiscal sponsor that has been in existence for the past 12 months.
• Applicant must have a minimum of $100,000 operating expenses annually for the most recent fiscal year.
• Applicant must demonstrate capacity and on-the-ground operations in low-income communities in the Global South for a minimum of three years.
• Applicant must provide data regarding the direct impact of the organization’s program(s) that the grant would support.
• Women must make up the majority of the leadership of your organization (i.e. board of directors and staff) at the time of application.
• Applicant must demonstrate fiscally responsible and sustainable practices within their organization.
• Applicant must have a website in English, unless using a fiscal sponsor.
• Applicant must submit all information requested on the grant application in English.
• Applicant must provide additional information as deemed necessary for Together Women Rise to make the grant decision.
• Applicant has not received a Together Women Rise grant within the past four years.
• If the applicant has previously received a Rise grantee, it must have satisfied ALL of Rise’s reporting requirements for that past grant.
• Applicants must adhere to Together Women Rise’s Religion Policy. 
• Together Women Rise recognizes that to achieve gender equality, women and girls must have equitable and consistent access to quality health care, which includes safe and full scope of sexual and reproductive health services and education. 

Application Date and Process

Together Women Rise has streamlined our application process in order to make it more open and accessible to prospective grantees.

• Step #1: Questionnaire to Determine Eligibility

First, you will be asked to complete a brief, online questionnaire to determine your eligibility for a Rise Featured Grant. This questionnaire should take you only a few minutes to complete, and you will receive immediate notification about whether you meet our eligibility requirements.

• Step #2: Your Organization Profile

If you are considered to be eligible after completing the questionnaire, we will provide you with instructions for how to complete your organization’s profile via our online application site. Your profile will be secure and confidential. Once your profile is completed, you will be invited to submit your application.

• Step #3: Full Application

If you are invited to complete an application, you will be asked to:

• Provide a copy of your organization’s IRS 501(c)(3) Determination Letter, or that of your fiscal sponsor.

• Provide a copy of your current fiscal year operating budget.

• Provide your Form 990 or Form 990 EZ, or that of your fiscal sponsor, for the two most recent consecutive years. If you are submitting a Form 990 Z, you will be asked to complete a supplemental questionnaire. We do not accept 990-Ns or 990-PFs.

• If you have a fiscal sponsor, you will need to provide a certification between your organization and the fiscal sponsor.

Note: Applicants may be required to participate in an online site visit with Rise staff and Grants and Partnership Committee members prior to final selection of grants. Invitation to participate in an online site visit is not a guarantee or indication of funding.
