Seeding and strengthening the grassroots gender equality movement in Europe.
Who we are
The Alliance for Gender Equality in Europe is the first and only collaborative fund dedicated to advancing progress toward gender equality across the continent.
We bring together foundations that share a common vision: an inclusive Europe where gender equality is achieved for all. Within the Alliance, members pool financial resources, knowledge, and networks to collectively invest in, connect, and champion grassroots gender equality organisations.
We support organisations and movements that empower individuals while also addressing the systems that uphold inequality — from expanding opportunities and shifting mindsets to challenging discrimination and mobilising collective action for lasting change.

“The biggest impact of the Alliance’s support is that it has allowed us to “buy time” by hiring a community organiser and partly hiring some of our team members. We have grown so much over the last year!“
— Tereza Táborská from ALICE
“I had one of the best experiences of reporting in my 25 years of working in civil society. With an oral narrative report, they wanted to understand our successes, our challenges, and how they can better support us as donors.”
— Camelia Proca from Asociația A.L.E.G.
“Joining the Alliance has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. Being part of a network of passionate donors has amplified our impact far beyond what we could have achieved alone.”
— Member foundation at the Alliance
