Girls Rights Project

The California-based Girls Rights Project supports human rights, women’s and girls’ causes and violence prevention, working mainly in the developing world. 

This funder makes small grants to organizations working to protect, empower and educate vulnerable girls and women around the world. To a lesser extent, it funds girls’ and women’s programs in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Girls Rights Project is a supportive funder that is easy for grantees to communicate with; however, it does not accept unsolicited applications for funding making it tricky for new grantseekers. All work centers on girls in the developing world, so your project must focus significantly on this group in order to be eligible for funding.
