The Fund brings together a diverse set of funders and activists from across the social justice ecosystem, including womens funds and feminist funders, UN agencies, public, private and family foundations, and NGOs.
Since our launch in 2020 during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Fund has directly worked with and supported girls and young feminists' brave and transformative crisis response efforts. Rooted in trust, solidarity, and reciprocity, we move resources at speed and scale through collaborative and innovative models of shared power.
The Global Resilience Fund is part of Purposeful’s Resourcing Resistance portfolio of Funds. As the first Africa-rooted feminist global hub, Purposeful resources and realizes girls’ collective power.
