Opportunity Details
Pivotal, a Melinda French Gates organization, launched Action for Women's Health, a $250 million global open call that will fund organizations around the world that are improving women's mental and physical health.
The ability of women to exercise their full power in society is directly connected to the quality of their health. Yet today, women experience inequities across all aspects of their health. These inequities can negatively impact their daily lives, as well as their economic prospects and prosperity, their ability to engage in their communities, and their opportunities to achieve their goals.
Action for Women's Health will support an array of organizations-of diverse geographies, sizes, perspectives, and approaches-united by their work to improve the mental and physical health of women. This initiative seeks to open access to funding streams to organizations and groups that historically have not had access to them.
Before applying, complete the Organizational Readiness Tool and refer to the Open Call Rules to help determine eligibility and to ensure that your organization is a strong fit for the Open Call. Take some time to review the application, which is accessible in PDF form here.
Interested organizations must register to apply before 4 p.m. U.S. Central Time on Tuesday, December 3, 2024. Complete applications are due before 4 p.m. U.S. Central Time on Friday, January 10, 2025.
Valid applications will be scored by four fellow applicants during Participatory Review in March 2025. Top-scoring applicants will advance to Evaluation Panel Review, where they will be scored by four Evaluation Panel Reviewers. Scores will be adjusted to ensure fairness. Action for Women’s Health will select awardees from among top-rated organizations, giving each awardee flexible funding between $1 million and $5 million. The Action for Women’s Health Open Call awardees will be announced by the end of 2025.
