About Prospera

Prospera International Network of Women’s and Feminist Funds (INWFF) is a membership network of independent women’s and feminist funds that work to redistribute resources to diverse women’s and feminist movements across the Global South and East.

The network currently brings together 49 member funds giving grants in 173 countries, mobilising over USD 200 million annually. Prospera’s members collaborate to transform philanthropy by shifting power and placing flexible money directly into the hands of activists, organisations, and movements.

Prospera’s Secretariat is a small but mighty global team that embodies feminist values and culture in all its work—internally, within the network, and externally with allies and broader communities.
