Grants of up to £5,000 are available to non-profit organisations in England and Scotland for impactful projects which aim to accelerate gender equality, effecting system change and advancing women's lives.
Another Way Women’s Foundation is an independent, volunteer-led, grant-making charity dedicated to enabling a brighter and fairer future for women and girls through financial support, education, empowerment and advancement.
Smaller grants of up to £1,000 are available as "seed funding" for new projects.
The grants typically fall into two areas:
- Project support – ‘seed’ funding for pilot or start-up initiatives to show ‘proof of concept’, with a view to enabling partner organisations to go on to apply for further/larger grants from other funders to expand/increase the project scope, or to attain self-sustainability for the project.
- Services support – aid funding to enable support organisation and service providers to pay for essential service delivery.
From January 2026 there will be two application windows each year:
January is for general applications supporting women and girls in any area.

- September 2026 - Sport and Leisure
