Description

1) Objective

The Sustain Fund provides core, long-term, flexible grants to Black feminist groups, collectives, organisations and consortium who work to build collective power, claim justice and create alternatives. From the second year of partnership, they provide grantee partners with opportunities for exchange and learning.

The Sustain Fund is core, flexible funding. This means that if your group is accepted, they fund your group and your proposed activities in furtherance of your strategy and proposed charitable and educational activities. They do not fund specific projects. What is important is who you are and the change you want to make in the world. They trust you to decide how you get there, what action to take and when to pivot.

2) Eligibility

The Black Feminist Fund resources registered and non-registered groups that are at the forefront of ​Black feminist resistance​, who are building Black feminist joy, creativity, alternatives and futures, and who strengthen the Black feminist movement architecture and infrastructure in their communities and transnationally​.

3) Location

The BFF currently provides funding to groups in the Caribbean, South and Central America, Africa, the Middle East, and North America and Europe.

4) Budget

Grants are for between USD 50,000 and USD 200,000 per year. You tell them what your annual budget is and how much you would like the Black Feminist Fund to contribute. In conversation, the review committee will agree on a grant amount based on available funding and the number of movement partners in our cohort.  In the first year of grantmaking, they awarded 21 groups Sustain Fund grants, with an average grant size of USD 81,000 per group.

5) Application

The Sustain Fund is open for applications. Applications will be accepted until May 24, 2025 at 11:59PM PST.
