What we do

Rosa is a grant-making charity that funds women’s and girls’ organisations working to make the UK a fairer, safer place. We do this by bringing in new sources of funding, investing resources into the women and girls sector, and by building a community of organisations that are connected in their cause to build a more equal society.

Investing

Our overarching goal is to increase the income distributed to the sector, by raising and distributing it ourselves and by working with others to enable them to do the same

Strengthening

In addition to funding, we seek to strengthen women’s and girls’ organisations, offering a programme of free events and training, online and in person, which enhance the way organisations work and the work they do

Using our voice to achieve change

By communicating the enormous value of women-led organisations, we support funders, including businesses as well as central and local Government, to invest in these organisations to secure their future for the benefit of women and girls
