Resourcing Connection and Care

This Collective Care Collaborative’s Advocacy toolkit is a resource for funders that builds on the visions, experience, and practices of the 5 women’s funds and the accompaniment and organizational practices, and its centrality in supporting the “glue” and resilience of feminist movements. It also points to recommendations of what more funders can do to invest in community-driven care models that prioritize interdependence, well-being and sustainability within women’s rights organizations, feminist movements and women’s funds.

We provide support for women across the Middle East and North Africa

Doria Feminist Fund supports feminist groups and organisations working at the frontlines of change. We provide flexible funding and long-term support so communities can grow their work, share knowledge, and shape their own futures.

We work to make sure that both new and established feminist groups in the MENA region have access to more and better funding to continue and develop their work, articulate their own priorities and produce local knowledge.
