Urgent Action Fund for Feminist Activism

From Genocide to Liberation: Supporting Feminist Activists in Palestine and Lebanon

Feminist activists in Palestine, Lebanon, and the region have been at the forefront of advocacy for ceasefire, providing humanitarian aid in the absence of systemic support, and cultivating collective and community care. Urgent Action Fund for Feminist Activism is committed to supporting their work on the ground. Since October 2023, we’ve made 55 grants, providing over $330,000 to feminist activists in and outside Palestine, as well as 39 grants, totaling nearly $250,000, to activists in Lebanon, as they respond to the ongoing crisis.
