Filia, the German women’s fund, was founded in 2001 with a growing community of partners in mind who invest capital and realise projects that enable women to gain power and influence, in both Europe and internationally. filia gives grants specifically to women and girls as experts of their own situation, who are experiencing multiple forms of discrimination. filia means “daughter”. The foundation created Germany’s first Girls Advisory Board where young women decide on grants for girls’ projects nationwide. filia sees money as a tool for social change. Within a culture of feminist philanthropy filia’s investment policy pursues ethical and sustainable criteria.
The Mediterranean Women’s Fund sprang from the women’s movement itself and is at the heart of the multiple connections of local and regional networks. Created in 2007 by five women, all active in women’s groups and networks in the Mediterranean region and with extensive experience raising funds on a volunteer basis for projects in Turkey, France, and Maghreb. They are familiar with the obstacles that women activists face in their work for equality and, advised by about twenty prominent women activists of the region, are in an excellent position to analyze and meet the needs within the specific context.
