About Organisation
The Resilience Fund for Women in Global Value Chains is a philanthropic initiative supporting women-led and community-based organisations working with women connected to global supply chains. The fund promotes locally led solutions addressing women’s health, safety, economic resilience and climate adaptation. Its approach provides flexible, unrestricted funding so organisations can direct resources toward priorities identified by their communities. The 2026 funding round covers Bangladesh, Cambodia, India and Vietnam and supports organisations with strong community relationships and experience working with women and workers. The fund also encourages learning and collaboration among participating organisations through its broader grantmaking and learning network.
About the Grant
The Resilience Fund for Women in Global Value Chains 2026 provides flexible, unrestricted grants to women-led, community-based organisations in India, Bangladesh, Cambodia and Vietnam. Selected organisations can receive between US$15,000 and US$50,000 over two years. The fund supports work connected to women’s health and safety, economic resilience, climate adaptation and the rights and wellbeing of women workers in global value chains. Funding is designed to give local organisations greater flexibility in responding to community priorities rather than restricting every grant dollar to narrowly defined activities. Applications for the current round opened on September 18, 2026.
Who can Apply?
The opportunity is intended for women-led, community-based organisations working in Bangladesh, Cambodia, India or Vietnam. Applicants should demonstrate meaningful relationships with the communities they serve and experience addressing issues affecting women and workers connected to global value chains. Relevant work can include women’s health and safety, economic resilience, climate adaptation, worker rights and community-led responses to environmental or social risks. Organisations should review the official eligibility guidance carefully before submitting an application, including requirements relating to organisational structure, leadership and geographic location. The fund particularly seeks locally rooted organisations capable of identifying and responding to community priorities.
How to Apply?
Applicants should review the 2026 Resilience Fund application guidance and eligibility requirements before completing the application. Organisations should explain their community work, leadership, priorities and proposed use of flexible funding. Applications are accepted during the current funding window from September 18 through October 12, 2026. An informational webinar is also scheduled for September 30 for prospective applicants.
