The Global Fund for Community Foundations (GFCF) report explores the intersections between community philanthropy, women’s philanthropy, and feminist philanthropy. Focused on empowering marginalized communities and addressing systemic inequities, the study highlights shared values of inclusivity, solidarity, and rights-based approaches. These philanthropic models mobilize resources, foster collaboration, and challenge traditional power structures to improve women’s and communities’ realities. The report identifies opportunities for collaboration across these approaches, emphasizing participatory grantmaking, collective care, and environmental justice. It underscores the importance of grassroots organizations and locally driven initiatives in addressing underfunded issues like women’s rights and social justice. Feminist philanthropy emerges as a transformative force, operationalizing feminist values and addressing multiple layers of oppression. By integrating shared values, fostering cross-issue alliances, and adopting intentional practices, community, women’s, and feminist philanthropy can collectively reshape the philanthropic sector, advancing equity and justice while empowering communities worldwide.
