We are thrilled to see TIME’s latest article highlighting the growing importance of feminist philanthropy. Shoutouts to our partners Keely Tongate of the Gender Funders CoLab, and Monica Aleman Cunningham of the Ford Foundation, for their relentless work in bringing together the global community of funders to support feminist movements. The need for sustained and substantial funding for women’s rights and feminist movements has never been more critical. We’re proud to be a part of the solution.

Feminist organizations work across movements and siloes to advance women’s and LGBTQI rights. They address multiple issues that impact the daily lives and well-being of women, girls, and gender expansive people. “For women supporting the long-term well-being of their families, communities, and culture, environmental protection and women’s rights are not distinct “funding silos”—they are what need to happen in order to survive and thrive.”- Our Voices, our Environment: The state of funding for women’s environmental action. Environmental degradation, climate migration, and resource shortages disproportionately affect women and other structurally excluded groups, intensifying their vulnerabilities. Yet, women, girls, and gender-expansive people are not only victims but also leaders in climate action, playing major roles in emergency responses to disasters, developing gender-responsive climate solutions, and building alternatives for just transitions. 💪🏽🌱 Learn more: https://buff.ly/4eRlh9N

In a world that often values productivity over wellbeing, we choose to resist by embracing rest. Rest is a form of resistance. It embodies self-care and community care, and it is vital for our collective strength. Starting tomorrow, the Equality Fund's virtual office will be closed as our team takes this time to rest and recharge. During this period, we will not be active on our social media channels. We will resume our online presence after August 8 and look forward to reconnecting with our communities then. Embracing rest is a feminist act. We fully support rest for all of us doing this together!

Across the globe, feminist movements are on the frontlines of the climate crisis. By tackling the root causes of climate injustice, including patriarchy and racism, they develop innovative, people-centered solutions. Led by those most vulnerable, feminist movements advance climate justice, democracy, and hold powerful institutions accountable.

The Equality Fund, along with 350 signatories, demand climate justice that is bold, inclusive, and supports those on the frontlines of climate impacts. Simplified and adequately resourced #CommunityAccess is essential. To deliver on its promises to those most affected, the #LossandDamage Fund must be resourced at scale & accessible to frontline communities and Indigenous Peoples. The LDF needs a community access window that is well-resourced and easy to access!

Today, we are thrilled to launch "Funding our Future: Resourcing the Feminist Movements Driving Climate Action," a new policy resource in collaboration with Mama Cash. Feminist movements are at the forefront of climate justice, offering critical perspectives and innovative solutions at all levels. Despite their vital role, organizations led by women, girls, and gender expansive people remain vastly underfunded. As we face the urgent climate crisis, it’s time to recognize and support these movements through diverse and creative funding strategies. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gtRsK84C
