Over the past two years, a collective of women’s funds has steered
a comprehensive research and strategy process in order to
strengthen the role that women’s funds play in advocating for and
resourcing collective care in the feminist movement ecosystem.
Collaboratively led by Doria Feminist Fund, Mongolian Women’s
Fund, TEWA, Women’s Fund Fiji, and FRIDA Young Feminist Fund,
this process has offered a unique opportunity for women’s funds to
engage in deeper discussions around the need for dedicated
collective care resources, and unite in collective action to advocate
within philanthropic spaces to prioritise collective care as a key
element of supporting activists’ growth, sustainability, and
resilience.
The Collective Care Collaborative is inviting the philanthropic
community to embark on deep reflection on collective care within
feminist funding practices, and grantee partner communities. The
Collaborative offers this advocacy strategy as a tool for
strengthening collective care systems within women’s funds,
defining accountability mechanisms, and highlighting pathways for
advocating for increased resources for collective care for grantee
partners.

Desde Fondo Semillas, Fondo FRIDA y Fondo Camy sabemos acerca de la capacidad que
tienen los movimientos sociales para construir estrategias resilientes y solidarias que
les permitan seguir construyendo un cambio duradero en sus comunidades. También
hemos identificado la necesidad de profundizar en estrategias que pongan en el centro
la sostenibilidad, no sólo de las colectivas, sino de las personas que las integran. Esta
sostenibilidad tiene múltiples ejes que se entrecruzan y es así que, a partir del diálo-
go con organizaciones y colectivas, sabemos que es urgente la necesidad de articular
estrategias y acciones concretas para fortalecer la sostenibilidad de los movimientos
feministas en América Latina. Para ello, es fundamental propiciar espacios de diálogos
feministas entre las propias organizaciones copartes y las socias de los fondos.
