At today’s “Beyond Grants: Feminist Accompaniment Strategies” session at #AWID2024, funders shared powerful ways to strengthen movements beyond financial grants: 🔑 Key Takeaways: ⚫️Funders must go beyond funding, offering long-term, flexible support that prioritises wellbeing. ⚫️Examples from @AstraeaUpdates , @FRIDAfund , and @GlobalFundWomen showed the impact of convening safe spaces, ensuring language justice, and fostering healing and connection. ⚫️ Trust is key. Funders need to show up consistently, listen, and collaborate to meet the needs of movements without extracting knowledge. 💡 Feminist accompaniment is about more than grants—building strong, sustainable movements. #MamaCash #FeministFunding #AWID2024

Wishing you a fruitful session @FRIDAfund & @ippf! Sending 🌺to all adolescent girls, young women #AGIPMembers and allies at #AWIDForum2024 💫
