Deadline: 15 June 2017
Applications are open for the second round of Rosa’s “Voices from the Front Line” programme which supports women’s organisations to shine a light on their fight for gender equality in the UK, by resourcing advocacy and activists with lived experience of disadvantage.
The programme offers grants to support charitable advocacy work across Rosa’s four pillars:
- leadership and representation,
- safety,
- health and
- economic justice.
Rosa has already compiled compelling evidence of the need for change to move closer to social justice and equality for women in the UK and they are looking for new voices with direct experience to stand up and take action.
Aims
- Support advocacy and influencing work across any one of Rosa’s four pillars
- Amplify the voices of individual women at the front line of grassroots work in the UK
- Support work which can, long-term, tackle the underlying causes of a problem and create change
- Nurture talent. Advocacy driven by inspiring, committed leaders can achieve remarkable results
Funding Information
Grants of between £500-£2,000 are available and they expect to support up to 25 projects in 2017/18.
