Whether your organization offers safe spaces, health or other social services, leads advocacy efforts, or supports your community in other ways, social enterprises can provide alternative funding that, when successful, can ensure the long-term sustainability of your organization.

The Playbook highlights the guidance and voices of our grantee partners -- women-led, community-rooted organizations in 20 countries -- and encourages more donors to consider trust-based, unrestricted funding, organizational strengthening support, and other types of critical support.

What are the most pressing needs of women-led organizations, how do they define resilience, and how are their priorities met with WomenStrong’s three-pronged approach?
We asked our grantee partners — women-led, grassroots organizations in 17 countries leading change across: women’s health, economic opportunity and security, girls’ education, and ending gender-based violence.
