Overview

They will support charitable women’s organisations whose work fits under one or more of Rosa’s four pillars (leadership and representation, safety, health and wellbeing and economic justice).

Rosa particularly welcomes proposals from women’s organisations that:

  • Address the critical needs of women and girls that miss out the most, including: marginalised populations, BME women, LGBTQ+ women and girls, women and girls with disabilities, older women, homeless women, survivors of gender violence, women in prison and ex-offenders, and other underserved and disadvantaged groups of women.
  • Operate in less economically resilient towns, cities and rural areas within the UK.

What sort of work will be supported?

Here are some examples of the types of costs they cover:

  • Costs that enable you to meet the immediate needs of the women and girls you support.
  • Costs that enable you to meet the immediate needs of your staff and volunteers.
  • Costs that enable your organisation to adapt your work to continue to reach women and girls during this time. Costs already incurred as direct result of the Covid-19 crisis will also be considered.
  • Costs to free up capacity to fundraise.
  • Costs that support the short term survival of your organisation.
  • Costs that support your organisation to better connect with the sector or with wider stakeholders.

This is by no means an exhaustive list and we are open to hearing what your short term funding needs are.
