Apply for a Grant

Welcome to the Women Fund Tanzania Trust (WFT-T) grant application portal. We are a feminist grant-making mechanism committed to strengthening the women’s movement in Tanzania by supporting initiatives that promote the rights of women, girls, and children.

1. Our Grantmaking Approach

WFT-T provides resources to organizations that are often overlooked by traditional donors. We prioritize grassroots initiatives, community-based organizations (CBOs), and feminist movements that work toward transformative social change.

All grant applications must align with one or more of our core strategic themes:

Ending Violence Against Women, Girls, and Children: Tackling GBV, sextortion, and harmful traditional practices.
Women’s Political Participation & Leadership: Strengthening the voices of women in decision-making and election processes.
Economic Justice & Sustainability: Enhancing women’s access to economic resources and participation in sectors like extractive industries.
Environmental Justice & Gender: Addressing climate change and land rights through a gender lens.
Reproductive Health Rights: Advocating for inclusive and rights-based health services.
Movement Building: Strengthening coalitions, networks, and feminist organizing across Tanzania.
