Helping local women in Tyne & Wear and Northumberland to overcome disadvantage, support each other and achieve their potential

About The Women’s Fund

The Women’s Fund recognises that many women need, and want, women-only services to feel safe, supported and confident when confronted by lack of opportunities, discrimination and abuse. It therefore awards grants to voluntary and community groups that run successful women-only projects.

The focus of this call for applications is support with core costs for women-led organisations that primarily or solely support women and are delivering services that help address the impact of poverty on women in our region.

Fund specific criteria

This funding is particularly aimed at smaller charities/charitable organisations where the funding can make a significant difference. Therefore, charitable organisations with an income up to £500,000 a year can apply.

Grants range: £2,000 – £7,000 for up to two years

How to apply

Your application must include the following information:

• A description of how your organisation is currently helping to address the impact of poverty on women

You will need to clearly demonstrate:

• How a grant for core costs would make a difference to your organisation

• How this will enable you to deliver successful projects that help address the impact of poverty on women.

As these grants are for core costs you do not need to include itemised project delivery costs

For an informal discussion about this funding opportunity please call Jo Cundall on 0191 222 0945.
