Rosa’s Stand With Us Fund
The Stand With Us fund has been set up to support the many organisations run by and for women who stand up and take action every single day to address violence against women and girls (VAWG).
The Stand With Us fund aims to empower and strengthen frontline VAWG organisations to build safer futures for women and girls. Through this fund, one-year grants of up to £25,000 will be offered to fund organisational development work.
The fund is currently closed, but funding has been offered to organisations with an average annual income over the last three years of between £100,000 and £500,000.
We want to enable organisations to be in a stronger position to survive, thrive and grow by investing in organisational development work such as developing strategy, strengthening governance and leadership, a stronger voice in the women’s movement, creating stronger alliances and partnerships, increasing fundraising, volunteering and activism, demonstrating impact and more effective systems and processes.

Please read the Stand With Us fund application guidance 2022 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 backfill senior staff positions in order to provide resource for this and/or pay for additional senior staff time.
Please read the Stand With Us fund application guidance 2022 and the Stand With Us FAQs for more information.
