The Alliance for Gender Equality in Europe (the Alliance) was created in 2021 as a pooled fund to bring together diverse donors to support progress for gender equality and women’s rights in Europe and create positive, long-term change.
The Alliance supports the strengthening of small, frontline organisations working on gender equality in Europe and improving the lives of individuals, ensure that they have equal access to opportunities and help them to live free from violence, while also addressing the underlying structures and power dynamics that uphold inequality and exclusion.
We do that by providing grants and capacity building for Civil Society Organisations (CSOS) and raising awareness in the philanthropic sector on the need for funding gender equality in Europe.
The Alliance is composed by a steering committee of the Alliance made of 4 foundations that sets the strategic orientation of the Alliance. The initiative is coordinated by a Program Manager, embedded in the Network of European Foundations (NEF) in Brussels.
Our vision is a just and fair European society where gender equality is achieved for all people, especially women, girls, boys, men, and those who identify as LGBTQIA+ living in vulnerable situations.
The Alliance supports the strengthening of small, frontline organisations working on gender equality in Europe that are working to improve the lives of individuals, ensure that they have equal access to opportunities and help them to live free from violence, while also addressing the underlying structures and power dynamics that uphold inequality and exclusion. We believe in a holistic approach where improving the lives of individuals goes hand-in-hand with pushing for systemic changes.
OUR OBJECTIVES
