Women & Girls Grants & Funding
There are 89 UK funders offering grants for women & girls charities, with typical awards from £200 to £600,000.
Funding for women and girls in the UK supports a broad range of work from domestic abuse services and refuges to leadership development and economic empowerment. The sector has seen increased attention and funding in recent years, driven by campaigns around gender-based violence, the gender pay gap, and women's health inequalities. Major funders such as the Tampon Tax Fund, Rosa (the UK fund for women and girls), and Comic Relief's gender justice strand provide dedicated support. Many general funders also welcome applications from women's organisations. Grants cover frontline services — counselling, legal support, safe accommodation — as well as prevention, education, and systemic change work. Maternal health, period poverty, women in STEM, female entrepreneurship, and support for refugee and migrant women are active funding areas. Organisations led by and for women, particularly those serving marginalised communities, are increasingly prioritised. Intersectional approaches that recognise how gender interacts with race, disability, poverty, and other factors are valued by progressive funders.

Tips for Applying to Women & Girls Funders
Apply an intersectional analysis throughout your application, demonstrating how gender disadvantage intersects with race, disability, poverty, immigration status, and other factors for the women and girls you serve. Funders in this space expect nuanced understanding rather than treating women as a homogeneous group. If your work addresses violence against women and girls, reference the VAWG framework and present your expertise in domestic abuse, sexual violence, or harmful practices with appropriate evidence and professional standards. Show that women hold leadership positions throughout your organisation — in delivery, management, and governance — and explain how this shapes your approach. Describe how you create safe spaces for participants, including physical safety, emotional safety, and confidentiality protections, particularly for women fleeing abuse or those with insecure immigration status. Use trauma-informed approaches as a foundation for service design and explain how staff are trained and supervised to work with trauma. Present gender-disaggregated data throughout your application to demonstrate the specific impact on women and girls, including baseline data and projected outcomes. Strong applications demonstrate both direct service provision and contribution to systemic change — challenging the structures that create gender inequality alongside supporting individual women to overcome its effects.
