2023 economic opportunities fund – CLOSED
In July 2023, the Alliance for Gender Equality in Europe has selected 26 small and medium-size frontline organisations in 16 countries to receive 3.470.000€ in two-year grants as awardees of our 2023 economic opportunities fund. We will provide those organisations with grants up to 150 000€ and opportunities for networking, peer-learning and organisational development.
- Organisations were selected from an open call for proposals and assessed by a selection committee composed of the following external experts:
- Anila Noor from New women connectors
- Emanuel Pisano from CSR Europe
- James Magowan from the European Community Foundation Initiative
- Justyna Frydrych from FemFund Poland
- Miriam Mona Mukalazi from the University of Dusseldorf.
They were then approved by our steering committee members.
The 2023 Economic opportunities fund was created to improve economic inclusion in Europe, which is still one of the main challenges to achieve gender equality in Europe. Through this fund the Alliance aim to support impactful and sustainable community-driven solutions that promote economic opportunities for marginalised women, transgender, non-binary and gender non-conforming people in Europe.
