At FemFund, I deal with social media and daily communication with our community. I completed my master’s degree in Cultural Encounters & Communication in Denmark, and before that I studied Polish philology with anthropological and cultural specialization at the Jagiellonian University. In my spare time, I like to bake sourdough bread and cook vegan food for others. I dream of someday, in the distant future, creating a place where cooking and eating together will be a space of activism and dialogue. I come from Ostróda, I live in Copenhagen.

At FemFund I work in the grant program, I deal primarily with MiniGrants and relations with Grantees. I’ve been involved with the third sector my entire professional life. I worked, among others, as anti-discrimination and social skills trainer, project coordinator, organization manager, and animator. Working at FemFund is a return to my feminist commitment, from which I started my activist and professional journey, and a possibility of bringing to life the values that are important to me. I’m a founding member of the Anti-Discrimination Education Society. I’m a seasonal, sometimes-practicing outdoor movementist. In the summer I swim on SUP, in the winter I watch TV shows. I believe in the power of immersion in icy water. I live in Warsaw with my cat Helena, I come from Legionowo.

At FemFund I deal with grants, especially Feminist Emergency Service and longer cooperation with groups after the implementation of the MiniGrant. On a daily basis, I make sure that the money for feminism goes to the right place quickly and efficiently, and besides, I develop relations with the Grantees, which means I talk a lot on the phone. I am also a member of the FemFund’s Board. My heart is halfway between activism and education – for many years I worked as an anti-discrimination trainer and dealt with education for diversity and equality, among others, at the Polin Museum and the Center for Civic Education. For pleasure, I ride a bicycle, play the trumpet, and fantasize about the end of the patriarchy. I am from Osiedle Przyjaźń in Warsaw.

At FemFund, I deal with financial coordination and strategy – from creating Excel files and analyzing documents to making life easier for the team through improvements. I work in feminist funding out of curiosity and passion to understand difficult things. I’m an activist, an ex-politician, a financial educator. I worked as a risk analyst and financial crime specialist, I’m a political scientist by training. I identify myself as a non-binary pansexual. In my spare time, I read books in a hammock and cook extravagant vegan dishes. Most of my life I have lived in Katowice, I am a Silesian by heart and by choice. I live with Węgiel (Coal), who is the cat of my life.

At FemFund I work in the grant team, where I deal with planning grant programs, participatory decision-making models, and relations with Grantees – especially as part of Power Grants and Feminist Emergency Grants. I am also a co-founder of the Fund and a member of the Board. I am a political scientist by education, I also studied Gender Studies and Nonviolence Agreement postgraduate. I worked, among others, at Batory Foundation, Ocalenie Foundation, Center for Civic Education. I gained my activist experience in the Women’s Agreement of 8 March, co-organizing Manifa in Warsaw, as well as in collectives acting for refugees. From time to time, I work as an anti-discrimination trainer, author of materials on gender equality in education, as well as an educator and animator of nature. I spend my free time in the woods, on a bike, or with a book. I’m from Krosno.

I am the originator, author of the concept, co-founder, and Board member of the Fund. At FemFund, I deal, among other things, with international cooperation with institutional donors and partner organizations, as well as caring for the development and financial security of FemFund. I am an intercultural psychologist, involved in the development of participatory and progressive philanthropy in Poland (FemFund), in Europe (FundAction) and in the world (Fenomenal Funds). In my free time, I regenerate in an interspecies non-heteronormative family (two persons and two dogs), practice slow jogging and draw strength from contact with nature. I was born in Baghdad, raised in the suburbs of Warsaw, I have lived in Muranów in Warsaw for years.

I am a co-founder and Board member of the Fund. At FemFund, I primarily deal with evaluation and management work. I am a sociologist and social researcher; I work and lecture at the Institute of Applied Social Sciences of the University of Warsaw. I am lesbian. I live in Warsaw, sometimes in Kraków, I take care of my dog Hańcza – walking together takes up a large part of my free time. I come from Bydgoszcz.

At the Feminist Fund I am responsible for individual fundraising and communications. I like to call myself a creative project-managing strategist. I used to work for local government and commercial clients. I love South-Eastern Asia, and – especially! – Japan. I practice movement in harmony with the breath and adore nature. I arrived to Warsaw from my hometown of Wronki via Poznań and Kraków, and this is most definitely not my final moving decision.
