WGF Women’s Human Rights Program

Population pressures exacerbate many of the fundamental obstacles to sustainable development: degradation of natural resources, income disparity, gender inequality and poor maternal and child health.

The Fund seeks policy initiatives which promote globally to:

• Increase access to contraceptives
• Increase access to emergency contraceptives
• Improve adolescents’ ability to make informed choice and obtain Quality reproductive health services
• Increase access to safe abortion
• Resource mobilization in europe
• Resource mobilization in u.s.
• Eradication of female genital mutilation
• Promote microenterprise
• Ensure that millennium development goals (MDGS) prioritize reproductive health

Grant proposals are processed and reviewed on a continuous basis.

The average grant size is $50,000, with actual grant awards ranging up to $400,000.

The Fund makes both one-year and multi-year grants.

Wallace Global Fund will consider proposals for either core support or project-specific support.

WGF does not fund purchase of land, capital construction, profit-making businesses, debt reduction, endowment campaigns, fundraising drives/events, or scholarships, tuition assistance or other forms of personal financial aid.

Deadline: Grants are being reviewed on a quarterly basis in March, June, September and December.
