Aims/priorities: The funding supports sustainable, cooperative, community-led initiatives aimed at the root cause of gender inequality (system change) in under-represented communities and/or under-funded areas.
The Foundation offers two different grants:
- Another Way Women's Foundation grants are for any type of project, initiative, service aimed at advancing and empowering women, creating positive social change, sustainably impacting communities, or indeed anything that makes the world a brighter and better place for women and girls.
- The '£1000 for 1000 words' grants provide 'seed funding' to kick start things on a project or service aimed at advancing women's lives for the better.
The Foundation has announced that from January 2026, there will be two application windows each year:
- January will be for GENERAL applications supporting women and girls in any area.
- September will be for SPECIFIC applications supporting women and girls only in the stated focus area of that year.
The focus areas will be:
- September 2026 - Sport and Leisure
