Who We Are
Bulgarian Fund for Women (BFW) supports feminist organizations, collectives and activists who challenge the patriarchal status quo and work towards a systemic change for women, girls, and all marginalized communities
We strive to overcome numerous structural problems such as lack of gender justice, ubiquitous sexism and misogyny, increasing social inequalities, shrinking space for civil society, attacks
against liberal democratic values, insufficient social engagement and philanthropic support for human rights movements and for achieving social justice.
Mission
Our mission is to support the human rights and social justice movements by advancing philanthropy aimed at achieving structural change.
Vision
Our vision is that all women and girls live in a just and equal world where their choices are respected, and their voices are heard.
Values
Our values are: solidarity, self- and collective care, diversity, accountability, fearlessness, responsiveness and celebration.
