Today, Pivotal, a Melinda French Gates organization, launched Action for Women’s Health, a $250 million global open call that will fund organizations around the world that are improving women’s mental and physical health.
The ability of women to exercise their full power in society is directly connected to the quality of their health. Yet, today, women experience inequities across all aspects of their health. These inequities can negatively impact their daily lives, as well as their economic prospects and prosperity, their ability to engage in their communities, and their opportunities to achieve their goals.
Action for Women’s Health – managed in partnership with Lever for Change – will support organizations of diverse geographies, sizes, perspectives, and approaches that are united by their work to improve the mental and physical health of women.
Organizations from around the world are invited to apply. Eligible organizations serve women and have a record of improving their mental or physical health. They should center equity in their approach and be poised to scale their work to strengthen the health of more women. For more information regarding eligibility, please refer to womenshealth.leverforchange.org.
Applicants must register to apply before 4 p.m. U.S. Central Time on Tuesday, December 3, 2024. Once registered, applicants must submit an online application before 4 p.m. U.S. Central Time on Friday, January 10, 2025.
