Dear John,
For too long, funding has been too rigid and too scarce to keep frontline feminists safe and resource their power and potential to bring about a more just world.
Today, less than 1% of philanthropic dollars go to feminist movements and the majority of grantmaking globally is slow-moving: public and private funders alike continue to favor lengthy application timelines, burdensome requirements, and longer-term outcomes.

In all corners of the world, feminist activists and their movements are leading holistic responses to these intersecting threats and crises, continually pivoting to protect and care for themselves and their communities while leading long-term movements for change. Yet these activists are forced to do this increasingly precarious work with far too few resources and at tremendous individual and collective cost.

Watch The Chorus We Carry, a documentary short produced by Urgent Action Fund for Feminist Activism, which, through the voice of our founder and the leadership of the Urgent Action Sister Funds, spotlights the gap in funding for feminist movements and the power women and LGBTQ+ activists have in driving meaningful change in a world in the face of conflict, crisis, and oppressive systems.
