Our work
Our work is based on feminist philanthropy. We collect money from organizations and individuals. We then donate this money to the implementation of feminist plans and needs.
We strive for justice in which each person has their needs met and can fulfill their potential equally with others. We create a bold space where we reinvent the world together. Check if the FemFund strategy resonates with you:
Who we support
"For the Earth" Association
The Association works for refugees from centers for foreigners in Łuków and Bezwola, and conducts aid, integration and educational activities.
FemFund grants allowed the association to:
- create an art project (MiniGrant);
- develop the “Craft for Dignity” studio, where refugees learn crafts, art, increase their self-esteem, take care of themselves (extended cooperation with FemFund);
- employing a person supporting refugees from war-affected Ukraine, speaking Ukrainian, Polish and Russian, who runs an emergency telephone (GrantPoMocy).
She-wolves Collective
The collective’s work expresses its disagreement with the devastation of nature and the exploitation of valuable forests that play a key role in climate protection and are home to countless species that unfortunately cannot defend themselves.
Activities within MiniGrant:
- skillshare – 9 days of sharing knowledge and skills, including climbing, nature conservation, queer, selfcar, anti-discrimination activities.
When a mother is born
The group consists of women who share the experience of motherhood. Each of them gave birth differently, in different conditions and circumstances, but each struggled with changes in body, psyche, relationships after childbirth. They organized themselves, looking for persons with similar experience to support each other.
Activities within MiniGrant:
- 18 meetings on rehabilitation after childbirth and psychological support for young mothers.
- for the group, the most important effect of the activity is the creation of bonds between the participants, who moved to everyday life after the meetings.
Frame for Equality
The group was made up of bisexual, non-binary, pansexual and transgender people whose common goal is to influence social awareness of gender identity and sexual orientation. The group wants transgender and non-heteronormative people to feel more confident in their skin.
Activities within MiniGrant:
- creating a short film about the experiences of trans people, entitled “The Message”;
- purchase of production equipment for films, payment of licenses and promotion of films.
K*AP Family – Women’s* Football Academy
The Women’s * Football Academy was founded thanks to football. Members organize open training sessions and football matches for women as well as non-binary, transgender and queer people.
Activities within MiniGrant:
- a series of 10 free, open football training sessions in a sports hall. The place was open to speakers of other languages, Deaf, beginners and experienced people of all ages;
- trip to Queer Futbol in Zamość and the Santa Claus Tournament in Lublin.
Programming classes and fottball for girls, self-defense workshops for pensioners, a support group for women experiencing violence, meetings with a gynecologist for rural women, first aid on equality marches … and much, much more!
