Mama Cash Grants
Mama Cash supports projects from women's groups and women's organisations all over the world. The fund seeks:
- projects that are focused on groups of women who are relegated to a marginal position within a certain context, for example: girls, women of colour, migrant and refugee women, HIV/AIDS-infected women, indigenous women, sex workers, lesbians, and women with a disability;
- projects with bold, innovative strategies, responsive to changing circumstances, ready to take advantage of strategic opportunities, and prepared to share the risks inherent in the work of resisting and transforming oppressive structures and systems; and
- innovative feminist and women's rights organisations, networks, and funds led by and for women and girls.
Applications from The Netherlands and Europe, as well as the Global South (Asia and the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean) and the former Soviet Union, can be submitted throughout the entire year. Applications must be completed in Dutch, English, French, or Spanish. Mama Cash will only assess applications that meet her criteria and are properly completed.
Mama Cash mainly funds organisations and networks with annual operating budgets under 200,000 euros.

Women in Africa are highly marginalised. The lack the neccessary tools such as capacity building trainings to enable them have knowledge that can assist them to stand on their own. With your continued asssistance, i hope a barren tree of hope will one day bear nice and admirable fruits. Thank you so much for what ihave read though i have come come across any women group in Zambia that has been funded by your organization so that i could see how they are doing your grant and has it has changed their way of life. However, continue with your good and recommendable job. Lydia Banda, Chipata, Zambia.
the page is complete, I have all the information I need and I really appreciate the work that Mama Cash is doing. I would like to encourage you to continue doing more and more especially for women group/organisation from Africa. there is alot of women's rights violation and women in these area rare know that they have rights. women need to know their rights for them to be able to solve problems they face.
I am part of Non Government Organization that works in human rights field. All we want now is to be your partner. We are in Mozambique and you can visit know more about us and our work in our web page.

You have shown me great passion to save the needs of all women. I requested booklets and information on Mama' Cash and you sent them to me in Zimbabwe. Not only is the page perfect but Mama Cash staff are also efficient and very supportive.

I have been invited to a Conference in Bangkok by Tomorrow People Organization. The theme is Poverty and Social Protection. I am a women Leader in the village. This conference will help me with the knowledge of the key poverty and social issues and social protection concepts and systems through interactive learning to develop my own ideas and provide me with necessary training which i will be able to implement in my own village because it is the women who are in position to fight poverty. Can i apply for a travel grant?

Dear Mama!
You may not be aware of how you hava changed a whole community here in Kenya. In 2002 you accepted our request application to help us construct a women meeting centre in Kager village Homa Bay district in Western Kenya. We built a room which quickly attracted the attention of the community. We did not know that that would be the begining of a life chaning point for this community.
Today this project has spilled over to expand to a full primary school helping 200 children with over 50% being orphans, we have started an orphanage currently helping 80 children, we have a community clinic that has save lives of hundreds of people and today and ICT centre connecting the village and the outside world. All these we achieved because people saw the first success with our centre. We owe it all to Mama Cash.
Please feel free to visit us and see what your first seed did to us.
