Description
1) Objective
On October 9, 2024, Pivotal, a Melinda French Gates organization, launched Action for Women’s Health, a $250 million global open call that will fund organizations around the world that are improving women’s mental and physical health. The ability of women to exercise their full power in society is directly connected to the quality of their health. Yet today, women experience inequities across all aspects of their health. These inequities can negatively impact their daily lives, as well as their economic prospects and prosperity, their ability to engage in their communities, and their opportunities to achieve their goals.
Action for Women’s Health will support an array of organizations—of diverse geographies, sizes, perspectives, and approaches—united by their work to improve the mental and physical health of women. This initiative seeks to open access to funding streams to organizations and groups that historically have not had access to them.
2) Eligibility
Eligible organizations serve women and have a record of improving women’s mental or physical health. They should center equity in their approach and be poised to scale their work to strengthen the health of more women. Organizations from around the world are invited to apply.
3) Location
This is a global call for proposals.
4) Budget
Grants range from $1,000,000-$5,000,000.
5) Application
Applicants must register to apply before 4 p.m. U.S. Central Time on Tuesday, December 3, 2024. Once registered, applicants must submit an online application before 4 p.m. U.S. Central Time on Friday, January 10, 2025. In May-June 2025, organizations top-rated by their peers will advance to a second round of review by an external Evaluation Panel. Following a final round of due diligence, Pivotal will select awardees from among the organizations top-rated by their peers and external evaluators, giving each awardee flexible funding between $1 million and $5 million USD. Action for Women’s Health awardees will be announced by the end of 2025.
