The Gender Fund has been in development since early 2020. Its design builds on lived experiences of program partners and activists; consultations with researchers, practitioners and funders working on gender equality; and engagement with available evidence.
Through the Gender Fund, we aim to make a significant contribution to the body of evidence on how to advance women's leadership and gender equality at scale by strengthening practitioner-oriented research and learning. In 2022-23 we have an opportunity to make a limited number of practice-focused research grants to learning organizations that actively bridge knowledge and practice, have the capacity to synthesize lessons across contexts, and are positioned to influentially disseminate those lessons. While Co-Impact will not be accepting unsolicited research grants, you can find out more details about our sourcing process.
