Summary
This research aims to create a roadmap toward the implementation of feminist philanthropy principles that bridge the political demands of feminist organizations with the interests of private and public donors. It investigates the ethical dilemmas associated with funding from the private and public sectors while looking into the main pitfalls and successes that some Global Majority feminist organizations in LATAM and SWANA found in the implementation of feminist philanthropy principles when receiving funding.
Advocacy Asks
A shift in private funding financing policies that implement feminist principles, particularly regarding the needs of:
- Providing unrestricted funding to ensure flexibility in addressing emerging needs.
- Ensuring fair remuneration of activists’ work promotes sustainability.
- Supporting financial independence for grassroots organizations to bolster resilience in the face of global challenges.
- Increasing transparency in funding allocations to foster trust, accountability, and equitable distribution of resources.
- Involving grassroots organizations in decision-making processes.
Methodology
Mixed qualitative and quantitative approaches through a survey and interviews with fair compensation for participants.
