Radical Hope Fund - African Women's Groups Get Huge Injection

The NoVo Foundation launched the Radical Hope Fund a year ago - during "a time of increasing repression and darkness" - with a question in mind... Would it spark deep collaboration and transformative change? "The answer has been overwhelming: feminist grassroots advocacy, activism, and organizing are thriving across the globe, new partnerships are growing, ... " say its co-presidents Jennifer and Peter Buffett.  Now a new round of grantees - including African Women's Development Fund, Masimanyane Women's Rights International, Collaborative Media Advocacy Platform (CMAP), with Jire Dole and Amnesty International Nigeria and The Nile Forum Project - has been announced.
