ARISE Research Grant: Request for Concepts

Hello friends, we wanted to share an exciting opportunity with you. You have the chance to challenge your Feminist Financial Imagination and conduct meaningful research on gender equality within local communities.

ARISE Research Grant: Request for Concepts

The Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs (ANDE) – in consortium with the Criterion Institute and 2X Global – seeks proposals from non-profit organizations for grants of 20,000 – 50,000 USD to support 8 – 10 research projects for a period of 6 – 9 months that contribute to research that is transparent, participatory, responsive to power dynamics, and driven by expertise on gender equality and local context. This research should be driven by organizational expertise on gender equality and local context that aims to change the way local communities think about and engage with financial actors. This research should focus on collecting and analyzing data that speak to the investment community with a gender lens and supports the building of connections with the local financial ecosystem. This research invites participation with a Feminist Financial Imagination, recognizing the transformative opportunity when “power and tools of financial systems are channeled toward advancing gender equality and justice”.
