Rosa: The UK Fund for Women and Girls Large Grants Programme
Grants of up to £100,000 available through the Justice and Equality Fund’s ‘Now’s the Time’ large grants programme.
Now’s the Time is the second programme from the Justice and Equality Fund managed by Rosa. The programme aims to amplify the voices of individuals and groups who are calling for an end to sexual harassment and abuse, in their workplaces and in their communities.
The Justice and Equality Fund aims to bring an end to the culture of harassment, abuse and impunity by resourcing an expert network of advice, support and advocacy organisations and projects. Inspired by the phenomenal campaigners of #metoo, TIME’s UP, Ni Nunca Mas, the #lifeinleggings movements and others, a group of UK-based women from the entertainment industry have come together to challenge the culture that permits people in positions of power to sexually harass and abuse others.
We want to resource imaginative, collaborative and creative grassroots activism so we are asking organisations to partner up and apply by answering the question:
What would you do towards ending sexual harassment in work places and in communities?
We will only accept partnership applications to this, the large grant programme.
You can apply for a grant over one to three years and we want to fund:
Prevention work
Awareness raising activities
Imaginative and creative grassroots activism
Influencing work
Work with groups and communities who might face additional barriers to getting their voices heard, or might be at higher risk of sexual harassment and abuse to amplify those voices
Work that tries out new ideas
Work that replicates tried and tested approaches in new settings
Work that others can learn from
We are particularly keen to see cross-sector partnerships where the expertise of specialist voluntary sector organisations at the forefront of this work is shared with others to help drive broader change.
How to apply
It is important that you read our programme guidance and application guidance as both go into further detail about the criteria for applying along with the aims and deadlines for the programme.
