Stand With Us fund – open for applications. 

Rosa are accepting applications for the Stand With Us fund until Tuesday 30th July at 5pm.

Rosa’s Stand With Us fund offers one-year grants of up to £25,000 to organisations delivering frontline services addressing male violence against women and girls in the UK.

The grants are to fund areas related to organisational development.

The funding is available to organisations with an income of between £100,000 and £500,000 and prioritises women’s and girls’ organisations.

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.

We will prioritise applications from: 

• Organisations which are led by and for Black and minoritised women and girls 
• Organisations led by and for women and girls with disabilities
• Organisations led by and for LGBTQ+ women and girls
• Organisations operating in the top 10% of the most disadvantaged areas in the UK – based on the Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) 
• Organisations based in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland. 

Further details about the fund can be found here.

Women and Girls sector survey 

As part of our ongoing commitment to the women and girls’ sector, Rosa is undertaking a large-scale survey of the sector. The results of this project will help us understand more about the current issues that affect the sector, its leaders, and the women and girls it supports.
