Colmena Fund

2024 showed us the power of collective action. 🐝🌍 In our first six months, we have supported trailblazing organizations across the Global South tackling some of the world’s toughest challenges. #ColmenaForChange

Our approach is rooted on four main values: 🔵 Empathy 🟢 Lived experience 🟣 Feminism 🔴 Solidarity networks Join our hive #ColmenaForChange

We are dedicated to accelerating the power of #womenpoliticalleaders and redefining ideas of power through those who champion democracy and human rights.

Here’s to 2025—a year of hope, shared purpose, and meaningful change. Together, let’s continue building a more equitable and just world. #HappyNewYear #WomenLeaders #WomenInPolitics #ColmenaFund

Our inaugural grantees are tackling barriers that #womeninpolitics face and supporting the journey of pioneering women as they transform lives of everyday people. Thank you for joining our hive. Your partnership reminds us that transformation is possible when we act collectively

🇧🇷🏳️‍🌈 The 2024 elections in Brazil were historic for LGBTQ people: the number of elected officials that are part of these communities doubled since 2020! 🎬 Learn more on this video produced by our grantee @VoteLGBT. 🐝 Join our hive and connect with us #ColmenaForChange

Imagine a world where diverse women and gender nonconforming political leaders are the norm, driving better social and economic outcomes for historically underrepresented communities ✨✨.

💰 Limited funding. 🛑 Violence & harassment on and offline. 🤝 Lack of support networks. 📚 Limited access to resources and tailored trainings. Join our hive and connect with us on social media #ColmenaForChange 🐝 #WomenInPolitics #WomenLeaders #GenderEquality #HumanRightsDay

🚨 130 years. That’s how long the UN says it’ll take to reach gender equality in political spaces at the current pace. 🐝 This #HumanRightsDay, the #ColmenaFund calls attention on the importance of supporting women leadership in the Global South who face common barriers 🧵👇

This profound space allowed for Colmena to connect, reflect, and dream in solidarity with global feminist movements.

We are thrilled to announce that the Colmena Fund met with its grantees on the sidelines of the #AWID Forum, held in Bangkok, Thailand. 🌏✨
