GlobalGiving Girl Fund

The Girl Fund grantee cohort recently came together for a series of collaborative storytelling sessions to answer the question, “What can we do together that we can’t do alone?” We walked away with a renewed sense of advocacy and solidarity.

Part of the “not aloneness” we spoke of comes from you. Your investment in the Girl Fund is creating ripples of positive change in communities around the world.  Because when we give to women and girls, we give to everyone. Here's how your commitment is strengthening communities.

Creating Global Transformation Through Your Investment

Your Girl Fund contributions validate what evidence consistently demonstrates: Investing in women and girls generates profound societal benefits. Despite these proven outcomes, less than 2% of philanthropic dollars go to women and girls. Supporting the Girl Fund helps shift this critical imbalance.

The Girl Fund channels your generosity to locally-led organizations that are:

• Driving Economic Growth by eliminating gender gaps that could raise GDP by 20% (International Monetary Fund) and creating financial pathways for women's independence
• Education. Educating girls leads to reduced child mortality, improved family health and increased agricultural productivity (UN Girls Education Initiative)
• Pioneering Environmental Solutions with women spearheading innovative sustainability approaches that show improved outcomes (United Nations)
• Building Peace and Stability through women's equal participation in peace processes, resulting in more durable agreements (Council on Foreign Relations)
• Connecting Local Expertise to worldwide networks fighting for gender equality while catalyzing family and neighborhood transformation

What's Next

From October 6-11, Girl Fund recipients will join an international movement culminating in Give to Women and Girls Day. This presents a unique opportunity to witness your support in action.

Join the Movement!

• October 6 from 12-1pm EDT: Powered By Women and Girls Storytelling Festival, an experience to hear stories from female leaders around the globe. Register here
• October 6-11: Post a short video to social media showing how women and girls are making your community stronger, safer, and more sustainable. Tag @GlobalGiving, #PoweredByWomen, and #GiveToWomenAndGirls to connect with others.
• Give to Women and Girls: Donate to a project that supports women and girls as agents of change in their communities. 

The approaching Give to Women and Girls Week exemplifies more than outreach—it showcases the multiplying impact of your trust in local leadership. Each narrative shared, every connection forged, and all collaborations formed demonstrate that women and girls hold the keys to more resilient, secure, and thriving societies.

Your commitment to the Girl Fund allows us to deepen these critical initiatives, linking community innovators to an international movement that begins locally and reshapes globally.

We're grateful for your role in advancing change through women and girls!
