Mission Statement

Donor Direct Action seeks to promote women’s equality by directly connecting effective front line women’s groups around the world working for the protection and promotion of women’s rights to donors who want to invest funds strategically where they will have the greatest impact. Historically, women-led organizations have been marginalized and denied access to financial resources. Investments in front line women’s groups based in the Global South have been particularly lacking. As a result, these organizations tend to be small and operate on shoestring budgets when compared with large international organizations (INGOs). As the activists closest to the issues - with first-hand experience and understanding – front line leaders know how best to have a real and meaningful impact on the ground, yet they are not given the opportunity to lead. This is not strategic and it is not empowering. It needs to change.

About This Cause

Donor Direct Action partners with organizations around the world that have tremendous yet largely unrealized potential for growth and impact, based on strong leadership and a proven track record. We give donors an opportunity to level the playing field by investing their funds where they will go further and be more strategically deployed. We identify partners through our well-established global networks – sometimes those activists doing the best work on the front lines are least able to afford the time and resources needed to develop glossy fundraising materials or to pull together successful fundraising teams. Once selected, partner organizations are vetted in accordance with applicable US laws. Donor Direct Action reviews their audited financial statements, and communicates regularly with them in an effort to help them strengthen their work and their organizational infrastructure.
