The 2022 Rosa’s Rise Fund
Please note that this fund is now closed, and applicants who have not been shortlisted will be notified.
Rosa’s Rise Fund provides organisational development funding for Black and minoritised-led women’s and girls’ organisations across the UK.
Through this fund, we offered two-year grants of up to £40,000 to organisations which have been established for three years or more, and which have an average income of less than £100,000 per year.
The funding is for organisational development work relating to areas such as strategy, governance, leadership, alliances and partnerships, funding, demonstrating impact and systems and processes.
Rosa has provided Rise grantees with a grant uplift to support them with the rising cost of living. Read more here.

Rosa’s Rise Fund prioritises applications from organisations that:
- Are ‘user-led’. By this we mean organisations that are created from and connected to the communities they serve and which design their services based on direct, lived experience.
- Work with and for marginalised Black and minoritised women and girls e.g. those with no recourse to public funds, refugee and asylum seekers, women experiencing homelessness, women and girls using drugs and alcohol, women and girls who have been trafficked, those with a disability, older women, LBGT+ women and girls.
- Operate in less economically resilient communities within the UK.
This fund is closed, but please read the Rise Fund Application Guidance for a full list of eligibility criteria.
With this funding we want to enable Black and minoritised-led women’s and girls’ organisations to be in a stronger position to survive, thrive and grow into the future.
Organisations will be able to report one or more of these changes:
- A clearer strategy
- More effective governance
- More effective leadership
- Stronger alliances with other women’s organisations
- More financial sustainability
- More able to attract funding from other sources
- More able to demonstrate the impact of your work
- More effective systems and processes
Examples of the types of activities we will fund are provided in the Rise Fund Application Guidance.
