Funding Available for Women's Groups
The Empowering Women Fund, part of the Labyrinth Project, is a Tampon Tax funded grant scheme, led by Solace. It will provide funding to support small women’s groups and organisations to develop innovative ways of empowering women in their local area and build the capacity of small organisations.
They are committed to equal access to opportunity and believe all women should have the opportunity to benefit from the available funding, regardless of age, class, disability, ethnicity, faith, income or sexuality. They particularly welcome applications from marginalised communities.
They have partnered with Nottingham Women’s Centre to find projects in East Midlands. Organisations can apply for:
Seed funding grants (£500-£1,000)
Available to small women’s groups to establish and run micro women’s empowerment projects in their local area that support women to build skills and confidence, and decrease social isolation.
Women’s Sector grants (£1,000-£25,000)
Available for women’s groups and organisations to develop capacity to respond to changing needs in their communities and run projects over a fixed duration of at least 6 months.
