Deadline: 9-Nov-23
Do you want to be in solidarity with others in your community or around the world? Internationalist, translocal, inter-movement and cross-generational solidarity has been a constituent element of Black feminist movements over time. The Solidarity Fund supports initiatives that enable solidarity across geographies, movements or people.
The Solidarity Fund supports timely, one-off initiatives that respond to or create an opportunity for change; enable solidarity across geographies, movements or people; seed a new project, new collective or new idea; or support wellness, safety and security.
The intention of the Solidarity Fund is to provide Black Feminist groups globally an opportunity to apply for flexible core funding to enable solidarity efforts across geographies, movements or people.
