The Feminist Review Trust is accepting applications for its grant program on a rolling basis. The next deadline is on the 10 September submission deadline for 15 December decision (Round 3 – 2019). The Feminist Review Trust funds projects with a focus on women and feminism that do not have high chances of getting funding through other channels. The maximum amount one organization can apply for is approximately 20,000 US$.
The Feminist Review Trust Grant is open for applications from individuals and organizations. The Trust gives to organizations worldwide, but the current focus is on non-OECD countries.
The focus of the work of the Feminist Review Trust Grant are projects that support women. The core areas that they fund in are:
Within these areas, the Feminist Review Trust focusses on projects that are hard to fund and might not have good chances of support with other foundations. Furthermore, they fund projects with a seed grant to get them started, projects with a high grade of innovation in the field of feminist values and training and development projects. In some cases, the Feminist Review Trust gives support towards core funding, one-off events, and projects with a research element. The research part should not be too dominant in the project though. The Trust rarely funds stand-alone research.
To apply to the Feminist Review Trust Grant, you have to fill out the application form given on the website and submit it electronically until the deadline. Within the application form, you have to give a project description, a detailed project budget in pounds and narrative that explains which part of the project should be funded with the support of this grant and a sustainability plan. Furthermore, you have to submit two references. In case of an individual applying, you have to include your CV, in case of an organization the annual report and further information about your organization.
The success rate for applicants to the Feminist Review Trust Grant is very low – only 1-2%. At the same time though, the trust states on its homepage that most of the applications they receive are not eligible or very badly written, so if you follow the guidelines and send a well-written proposal, you already have much better chances. Make sure you check their guidelines in detail to know if you are eligible and only apply if you fall into the target group.
While the maximum amount one can apply for is approximately 20,000 US$, normally projects get less funding. Do not apply for the maximum amount if not 100% necessary and try to work on different sources of funding as well.
The sustainability plan is very important for trust, so you should have very good ideas about how you will sustain the project in the long run. Make sure you point them out clearly in your application and that you show that you put a lot of thought into this.
