Feminist Frontline Fund
The Feminist Frontline Fund exists because movements are built on the ground — in community centers, on courthouse steps, in parking lots and public squares — and the organizers showing up there shouldn't have to foot the bill alone. We created this fund to move real resources to the people doing real work: covering the costs of venues, materials, sound systems, permits, and the infrastructure that makes public action possible.
This is how we build a feminist future together — not from the top down, but from the ground up, with every march, rally, and community gathering funded as an act of collective power. The Feminist Frontline Fund supports community-based organizing that advances Women’s March Inc.’s (WMI) social welfare mission to build a feminist future.
Funds are used to pay program expenses in furtherance of our 501(c)(4) purpose. They are not personal gifts or charitable grants.
Supported activities must primarily benefit the public rather than a specific private individual.
What We Fund
We may support direct, mission-aligned public activity expenses, including:
• Venue rental
• Stage, sound, and production services
• Permits and insurance
• Printing and materials
• Accessibility services
• Safety infrastructure rental and services
• Volunteer organizing tools
Funds may not be used for:
• Personal living expenses (including compensation)
• Purchase of personal property (for example, AV or sound equipment, tables, etc.)
• Private benefit
• Contributions to candidates
• Coordinated campaign expenditures
• Activities that would require reporting by Women’s March under federal or state campaign finance law
Request Process
Support is available to organizers who have an existing field-building relationship with WMI through our programs.
Organizers must provide:
• A brief description of the activity
• How it advances our mission
• A simple budget
Funding decisions are discretionary and based on mission alignment, public benefit, the strength of the organizing relationship, and available funds.
Non-Violence & Legal Responsibility
Events must be conducted in a non-violent manner.
Organizers are solely responsible for compliance with applicable laws.
Independent Organizer Status
Recipients are independent organizers.
WMI provides limited financial support only and does not organize, sponsor, or produce local events. WMI is not the sponsor of any event conducted by organizers using WMI funds. Any communications about events conducted by organizers using WMI funds must be approved by WMI in writing in advance of the event if communication mentions or refers to WMI.
Funding does not create a partnership, agency relationship, joint venture, or employment relationship.
