Rosa’s Stand With Us Fund
The STAND WITH US FUND was set up to address the critical lack of investment in frontline organisations supporting women and girls who experience male violence.
Originally started with money raised by Reclaim These Streets in the wake of the appalling kidnap, rape and murder of Sarah Everard by a serving Metropolitan Police Officer, the fund exists to make the UK safer for all women and girls.
The fund supports organisations to become stronger and more effective; better meeting the needs of women and girls and influencing wider change for all women and girls across the UK. Organisations can apply for up to £25,000 to fund areas related to organisational development, including strategy, governance, leadership, having a stronger voice within the women’s movement, building alliances, fundraising, impact, systems and processes.
This fund is for organisations that have an income of between £100,000 and £500,000 (from their last set of annual accounts).

Please read the Stand With Us fund application guidance 2024 for a full list of eligibility criteria.
We will fund organisational development work that will support organisations to survive, thrive and grow in the future.
We know that developing an organisation takes time and resource, so through this programme we are funding extra capacity in organisations, rather than supporting existing costs.
Strengthening an organisation requires ‘thinking’ and ‘development’ time and this is often best done by the people leading your organisation. We will therefore fund a variety of development-related costs, such as the backfill of senior staff positions to provide resource for this and/or pay for additional senior staff time.
Please refer to the Stand With Us fund application guidance 2024 for a full list of examples of the type of work we will fund.
Please read the Stand With Us fund application guidance 2024 and the Stand With Us FAQs for more information.
