It would be remiss of us to talk about who we fund and how we fund, without acknowledging who have funded us in the past and those who continue to fund us - trusting our mission and resourcing the centring of African women and feminist organisations, individual activists and collectives.
Over the years, we have received funds from 80+ individual, institutional and corporate donors. We must pause here to deeply thank individual donors for their trust and generosity. The African women who gave what they could at the very start. Those who volunteered to raise big and small amounts of money for our work. And those who decided to include a gift to AWDF in their legacy estates. They have strengthened us financially, but also emotionally.
