September 8th, 2017 | AGM and AWARE Updates, Gender-based Violence, News, Volunteering & Fundraising

We are incredibly excited to announce that AWARE has launched the Power Fund, Singapore’s first national women’s rights fund!

The fund will provide financial and capacity-building support to emerging organisations and new initiatives that work with marginalised women and girls.

We are particularly interested in:

  • Emerging organisations that are small or not formally registered
  • Organisations that are struggling financially
  • Organisations that wish to re-establish themselves after years of dormancy
  • Passionate, goal-oriented individuals building a cause in the realm of gender equality

  • Financial support for project – One-year grants to help finance their project(s)
  • National and regional networking – among individual women’s rights advocates, and other social justice organisations
  • Capacity building – for communications, governance, finance, project management and mentorship
  • Learning support – among advocates through the exchange of diverse ideas and experiences.
