Why Do We Need Funding for Women’s Rights?
As the only feminist donor in Bulgaria, Bulgarian Fund for Women (BFW) develops philanthropy for social change, mobilizing local resources and attracting international funding to support the gender justice movement. In addition to prioritizing women’s rights, we also address intersecting struggles for social justice and work toward the affirmation and protection of the human rights of all vulnerable groups.
As an active part of these movements, we are best positioned to support them—we deeply understand their needs and the challenges they face.
Our fundraising philosophy is built on educating donors, promoting our work and that of our partners, ensuring a diverse range of funding sources, and developing innovative, strategic, and effective funding models such as pooled funding.
We attract funds from various local and international donors, including private foundations, other women’s funds, international NGOs, European institutions, Bulgarian foundations, embassies, corporations, and individual donors. We encourage them to invest in women’s and girls’ rights and social change in Bulgaria.
Additionally, we advocate for increased government funding and greater resources for the civil society sector, particularly for administrative and operational costs, which are essential for the long-term sustainability of organizations.
