Asia Gender Equality Fund 3.0 for Non-profit Organisations

The Asia Gender Equality Fund, aims to raise and deploy USD 25 million within the next five years to support transformative initiatives and solutions by non-profit organisations, focusing on improving economic outcomes for women and girls in Asia.

Initiated in 2023, with support from Fondation CHANEL, Gates Foundation, KKR and members of AVPN’s Asia Gender Network, in Rounds one and two, they were able to provide flexible, multi-year funding to ten nonprofits across the Asia Pacific Region, working to improve economic outcomes for women and girls in the region.

About Round Three

Climate change is the defining challenge of our time, and women and girls bear the brunt of its impact. Existing gender inequalities are amplified, jeopardising women’s livelihoods, health, and safety. Recognising this urgency, Round Three of the Asia Gender Equality Fund, supported by Gates Foundation, Foundation CHANEL, Minderoo Foundation and Target Foundation, is dedicated to mobilising bold and equitable investments towards gender-just climate action and interventions. These interventions will address the distinct challenges women face due to climate change and empower them to achieve economic security.
