Aims/priorities: We're GirlDreamer and we create greater access to leadership and wellbeing opportunities for young women of colour to tackle social and economic inequity. We do this through grant funding, capacity-building programmes and psychologically safe spaces.
- To ensure this is the right fund for you, please read through our eligibility criteria:
- You are led by women of colour between 18 - 35 years of age (i.e. founders/senior team; our fund is designed to boost and support young WoC-led work, in keeping with our company mission and demographic)
- You are based/registered in the UK (reach can be global)
- You have not received funding from GirlDreamer in the past year
- If you are not a registered charity/non-profit, then your work has a community/social/charitable benefit
- If you are a registered charity/non-profit, your annual turnover (in the last financial year) is less than £150,000
Who can apply? You don’t need to be a registered charity, or social enterprise to apply for the funding. However, you do need to provide evidence of your work i.e reference/letter of support and/or photographs, news articles, website, social media, reports, etc. Something where we can see your work for our own due diligence.
Grant amount: Up to £2,500.
