In Spring 2024\u00a0Numun Fund<\/a>, a Channel grantee partner and the first feminist tech fund working at several intersections including LGBTQI+ and women’s rights, made public some of the recipients of its first round of grants.\u00a0 It<\/span>s \u201cSeed, Grow and Sustain\u201d<\/a> grant program is the first of its kind.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The multi-year, flexible grant program first launched in July 2022 and consists of grants ranging between $5,000 USD-$100,000 USD. These grants seek to <\/span>\u201cseed, resource and sustain a thriving ecosystem of feminist activists who define, imagine and shape technology for the world we need.\u201d \u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The program consists of three types of grants. Seed grants range from $5,000 USD-$10,000 USD and provide support and resources to emerging initiatives. Grow grants range from $10,000 USD-$50,000 USD aiding in the growth of groups that have at least 2 years of experience. Sustain grants range from $50,000 USD-$100,000 help sustain feminist tech organizations with flexible, general support funding.<\/p>\n

Numun Fund received over 800 applications from groups in over 200 countries for the grant program. <\/span>On March 8, 2024, Numun Fund announced its current grantee cohort of 43 groups from across the globe. Total funding for these “nodes” amounts to around <\/span>$1.6 million USD. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Grantees were chosen in a participatory process with the support of a Grantmaking Design Circle, an \u201cadvisory group made up by activists and practitioners in feminist tech, human rights, women\u2019s funds and intersectional feminist and social justice movements”,\u00a0 and a Community-led<\/span> Selection Committee. <\/span>Members of these groups included<\/span> Jac sm Kee, Numun Fund Co-founder, Anasuya Sengupta, Numun Fund Co-founder, Nadine Moawad, feminist activist, and Salome Chagelishvili, feminist activist, among several others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
