East African Girls and Young Feminist Fund (EAGYFF) 2026–2027 Grant Call

The East African Girls and Young Feminist Fund (EAGYFF)—a feminist fund under CivFund—has opened its 2026–2027 Call for Proposals. The Fund supports girl-led and young feminist collectives in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania that are driving community-rooted, transformative ideas for feminist futures and grassroots movement-building.

EAGYFF is designed to resource emerging feminist leaders by offering unrestricted, flexible grants that allow groups to implement, test, and expand their initiatives. Built on principles of listening, solidarity, and autonomy, the Fund aims to accompany young feminists on their own terms while strengthening East Africa’s broader feminist movements.
