We provide resources that serve as a lifeline for women, trans and nonbinary activists who face direct threats to their safety and well-being.
What We Do
What We Do
Urgent Action Fund for Feminist Activism provides fast, flexible support to women, trans and non-binary activists so that they can respond to unexpected risks and opportunities, protect and care for themselves and one another, and nurture and sustain thriving frontline feminist movements for a just and equitable world.
When feminist movements have access to timely support from trusted funders, they are better equipped to adapt to real-time risks and leverage opportunities in ways that sustain ongoing movements for social change.
