Apply: Malala Fund Girls Programme is currently welcoming applications for its latest grants cycle.

Our Girls Programme gives girls the tools they need to advocate for education and equality in their communities and a platform for the world to hear their voices. By supporting youth activists, investing in local organisations and amplifying the voices of young women, Malala Fund is creating a world where girls have the agency to address the barriers standing in the way of their dreams.


The Malala Fund Girls Programme is currently welcoming applications for its latest grants cycle.


Who we are funding

Our grants support feminist and women-led movements, groups and organisations addressing the barriers preventing girls and young women from completing their education.


Malala Fund welcomes applications from those who meet the following criteria:

1. You are a non-government organisation (NGO), community-based organisation (CBO) or movement in Bangladesh, Brazil, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan or Tanzania.

2. Your work supports girls and young women ages 10–24 who are unable to develop their agency and realise their rights due to systemic inequalities, discrimination or oppression.

3. You do not have to be formally registered to receive funding — except in India where we require national and Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) registration and an organisational bank account that enables you to receive foreign funding.

4. You identify as or are working towards becoming a feminist and/or women-led organisation. Malala Fund defines feminism as working towards equal rights and opportunities for all genders and to dismantle systems of oppression — but recognises that feminism depends on context and circumstance, and welcomes all kinds of feminist movements, groups and organisations. We define women-led as at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by one or more females.

5. Your movement, organisation or group has been operational for at least one year.

6. You have an annual budget of less than $150,000 USD. Note: Malala Fund will still consider your application if your annual budget is above $150,000 USD but will prioritise those with budgets below this threshold.


What you can apply for

Malala Fund will award $75,000–$100,000 USD grants that can be used for general operating support or projects over a 12-month to three-year period.


These grants are unrestricted and flexible, which means you can use them for any aspect of work, including general operating costs (e.g., salaries, office space, administrative expenses) and activities and projects that advance your mission (e.g., campaigns, training, programmes). We want the funding to work for you. Please note that you are able to adjust your grant spending plan if your priorities and circumstances change during the project period.


At this time, the Malala Fund Girls Programme is unable to fund:

> Government entities, political parties and associations, organisations with political affiliations or international organisations proposing projects in partnership with local organisations.

> Scholarships or grants to individuals. Organisations are able to use grant funding to cover the cost of stipends, per diems and other expenses related to your activities.


How to apply

Please complete the below application by Friday, January 28, 2022. The form is also available in Bangla, Hausa, Hindi, Portuguese, Swahili and Urdu. Malala Fund will share funding decisions with grantees by early March 2022. To view the application questions before applying, please click here.
