Summary

Global feminist movement-support organization (9,000+ members, 180+ countries) whose “Where is the Money?” funding research and “Who Can Fund Me” database are directly useful for any campaign trying to resource itself, not just explicitly feminist ones.

Body

AWID (Association for Women’s Rights in Development) is a global, feminist, membership-based movement-support organization working on gender justice and women’s human rights, with over 9,000 members across 180+ countries. [source: awid] It organizes its work around three priority areas: resourcing feminist movements, building feminist economies, and advancing universal rights and justice. [source: awid]

Its most directly actionable output for campaigners is its funding research: “Where is the Money?” is described as “an evidence-driven call to resource feminist organizing,” and the “Who Can Fund Me” database is a searchable tool (built on Airtable) for identifying potential funders. [source: awid] AWID also maintains a “Rights at Risk” resource library tracking anti-rights and fundamentalist mobilization, a “Feminist Realities” magazine covering feminist economic alternatives, and research on the leadership and protection of women human rights defenders.
