AWDF – African Women’s Development Fund 2025 | INUA Grants: Funding Opportunities for Young Feminist Leaders in Africa: (Deadline 27 May, 2025)
Are you part of a youth-led feminist organization, collective, or grassroots movement in Africa working toward gender justice? The African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF)
This is a powerful opportunity for young women, girls, and gender-diverse leaders and activists to access substantial, flexible, and long-term funding to amplify their transformative work. The AWDF is guided by a feminist, movement-centered strategy that focuses on resourcing those often excluded from mainstream funding—especially youth, unregistered groups, and those organizing in challenging contexts.
Why Apply?
The AWDF understands the realities young feminist actors face—from shrinking civic space and funding cuts to social and political backlash. Despite these challenges, young leaders across the continent are creating bold, creative, and impactful solutions for gender justice.
The AWDF’s 2023–2033 strategic framework is committed to standing with you—resourcing your leadership, your voice, and your movement.
