The Resilience Fund is launching a new funding round to support women/non-binary-led community-based organizations in Bangladesh, Cambodia, India and Vietnam working at the intersection of women’s health, safety and economic resilience, community-led climate adaptation, and global value chains. Selected partners will receive $15,000–$50,000 USD in flexible, unrestricted funding over two years, alongside opportunities to connect, share and learn with other grantee partners through the Resilience Fund’s Learning Hub.
For this funding round, the Resilience Fund is focusing on three interconnected priority areas that shape the health, wellbeing, and resilience of women across global value chains. We are looking to support organizations whose work connects across all three areas.
- Women’s health, safety and resilience: work that strengthens women’s health, safety, livelihoods, financial security, leadership, decision-making, mobility, and ability to participate and thrive in their communities and workplaces.
- Community-led climate adaptation: work that helps women and their communities prepare for, respond to, and adapt to climate and environmental impacts, such as extreme heat, flooding, drought, storms and changing weather patterns.
- Connection to global value chains: work with women workers and/or communities connected to global value chains
The Resilience Fund welcomes applications from women/non-binary-led, community-based, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Bangladesh, Cambodia, India and Vietnam whose work addresses the Fund’s three focus areas described above. Applicants must be formally registered and authorized to receive foreign funding, with an annual income of at least $10,000 USD. Organizations should be embedded in and representative of the communities they serve. Income figures from 2024, 2025 or 2026 will be used as the baseline for determining eligibility.
