Aims/priorities: Now in its ninth year, the funding is for women's and girls' organisations to deliver activism and campaigning to raise awareness of the issues women and girls face.
The campaigns could be targeted at local communities, the general public, local or national government, media, service providers or businesses.
Rosa will fund organisations which:
- Have identified the issue they want to campaign on.
- Have an understanding of their intended audience.
- Are ready to start, or have started, their campaign.
- Need resources to support their campaigning and influencing work.
Rosa is committed to funding organisations across the UK as well as to funding a mixture of national and local campaigns.
Who can apply? Women's sector voluntary and community organisations in the UK are eligible to apply.
To be eligible, applicants must:
- Meet Rosa's definition of a women's and girls' organisation as those which are run by, for and with women and girls.
- Their organisation will be governed and led by women.
- They will have a Board of Trustees (or similar) where the Chair is a woman, and the majority of members are women.
- The majority of their organisation's employee leadership team will be women.

- Led by and for Black and minoritised women and girls.
