MANAGEMENT OF
GRANTS, FUNDS & PROGRAMMES

Women Win manages a range of collaborative funds, funders’ grants and programmes. Our team comprehensively oversees the operation to ensure quality and effectiveness. With an experience of more than 10 years in funding and programme management, Women Win can oversee the different elements of grant management and project implementation, including, but not limited to:

• Management of pooled fund and other collective mechanisms
• Design, development, implementation and management of shared governance structures
• Due diligence process
• Grant making processes, including participatory grant-making mechanisms
• Ongoing grantee engagement and support
• Learning, monitoring and evaluation
• Financial management and reporting

RE-GRANTING

We receive investment from a wide variety of partners and re-grant these funds to a diverse portfolio of like-minded local implementing partners around the world who share our vision for girls’ and women’s rights. We prioritise investing in girl and women-led organisations and strive to support re-grantees with long term flexible funding. Through participatory grant-making processes we aim to develop leadership, shift power and transfer decision-making into the hands of girls and women from the communities we serve.

FISCAL SPONSORSHIP

Women Win is the fiscal sponsor of a variety of projects and selected organisations aligned with our vision and missions. We offer the perfect structure for project incubation to a wide range of gender equity initiatives, extending legal and tax-exempt status so emerging organisations and activists can receive funds and operate under our exempt status during their start-up phase.

Women Win also partners with funders to financially support a programme or organisation that enables them to focus on their mission whilst our team conducts the due diligence, financial, and operational framework.

With offices in the United States, the Netherlands and in the United Kingdom, and with more than 10 years of experience transferring grants for the most remote parts of the world, Women Win has been a fiscal sponsorship partner of choice for many funders of girls’ and women’s rights.

• Design and development of curricula, toolkits, games, etc.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND CAPACITY STRENGTHENING
