Rosa is the first and only UK-wide funder with a mission to invest in women-led organisations that champion and support women and girls. We do this because we believe these organisations are crucial in driving and delivering positive change and making the UK a fairer, safer place.
We use our grant making expertise to fund women’s and girls’ organisations, helping them flourish and thrive. By working with the sector to make sure our funds meet the needs of individuals, we influence progress in women’s and girls’ rights and help create the conditions for a gender equal society.
Where our funding goes
Our training builds confidence and skills and we are growing a strong network of women’s and girls’ organisations so they can work together and support one another. Our research and data help the women and girls sector grow, challenge assumptions and demonstrate the positive impact it has on our society.
Strengthening Organisations Supporting Women
We cannot do it alone, so we help funders and philanthropists see the huge potential of the women and girls sector by sharing strong evidence and research. We also push for changes with statutory funders to make sure funding for women’s and girls’ organisations reflects the value of their expertise.
