To use the Global Fund for Women online grants application, your group must create a user account. You can use this account any time you want to apply for a grant from the Global Fund for Women.- We will first ask you to answer a few questions to help us determine if your group meets our basic grant criteria.
- Next you will be asked for your group’s basic contact information, including a user name and password for your user account.
Step 2 - Start Grant Application
After creating your user account, you will be able to log into the Application Center, where you can start, submit, and track your grant applications.- To start a grant application, click on “New Grant Application” on your application center home page.
- In your new grant application, you will be asked to briefly answer a series of questions so we can better understand your work.
- As you enter information, click 'Save changes' frequently to be sure that your answers are saved. When you are finished with one page, click 'Save and Continue' to go to the next. This protects your work during long sessions and allows you to log in multiple times to work on your application.

Global Fund for Women accepts urgent requests related to a crisis of some kind, or for requests that pertain to organizing or attending a conference, or other time-bound event. Such requests will be considered outside of our normal grant cycle due to their time-sensitive nature. Applications must be submitted by organizations, not individuals, and must be received at least eight weeks before the event. Funding for such requests is extremely limited, and preference will be given to past Global Fund grantees.
