Fund Forward with us
Support women-led, gender-just climate action
What if a donation can multiply impact with outcomes not just today, but in the future?
That’s what happens when you fund women-led, community-rooted climate action through GAGGA. Every dollar you invest doesn’t just fund a project — it catalyzes ripple effects: restoring ecosystems, securing food and water, and accelerating locally-led adaptation. We welcome new funding partners to join us in catalyzing gender-just, locally-led climate action that addresses the root causes of climate change.
Gender-just climate action recognizes that women, girls, and trans, intersex, and non-binary people are disproportionately impacted by climate change, yet remain the least resourced to respond, despite being proven leaders in advancing sustainable, community-rooted climate solutions.
Our purpose
Over the last 10 years, the Alliance has built an infrastructure that enables women-led organizations to access sustained adaptive funding, tools, and knowledge to confront climate change.
However, the climate crisis continues to outpace our ability to respond, and rather than tackling this global crisis as a collective, the solutions being funded often exclude those most impacted. Specifically, women-led organizations remain severely underfunded and underrepresented in decision-making spaces.
Partner with us to tackle this global crisis as a collective and accelerate climate action today that creates lasting systemic change.
Fund Forward with us
The future starts now. Fund Forward with us and join foundations, philanthropic organizations, and institutional donors in catalyzing a gender-just climate future.
When you Fund Forward, every dollar has a ripple effect
One donation sparks a chain of impact, tackling both cause and effect. For example:
- One act of courage ignites a movement.
- One restored ecosystem becomes the base of community resilience.
- One moment of advocacy generates long-term policy change.
When you fund with GAGGA, your impact multiplies. Because when girls, women, trans, intersex and non-binary people lead, communities thrive – and the future changes for us all.
Why GAGGA
Over the past decade, GAGGA has channelled over €45 million to over 2,300+ frontline climate action partners across 60 countries.
GAGGA has also:
- Facilitated 150+ in-person and virtual cross-learning sessions
- Supported 2,330 bottom-up advocacy initiatives for gender-just climate solutions across its network of partners
We understand that numbers only capture a fraction of the impact. Not all impact is strictly quantifiable; not all outcomes are easily measurable. Yet the ripple effects are exponential.
To see our impact year-on-year, you can see our annual impact reports and stories of impact being multiplied. Also, see the first-person story of Carolina de Moura, one of GAGGA’s valued partners, below.
The impact of partnering with us
- Sustaining and strengthening an existing ecosystem – one built over a decade by women, trans, intersex, and non-binary leaders who are already implementing effective, community-rooted climate solutions.
- Amplifying resources into impact. GAGGA directs funds where they create the greatest multiplier effect, in the hands of partners on the frontlines.
- Scaling contextually-grounded climate action. GAGGA helps communities scale their impact from the local to the global, not through replication, but through amplification of proven, locally-grounded pathways.

GAGGA’s added value lies not in creating new systems, but in sustaining and strengthening the ones that already work.
GAGGA acts as a strategic amplifier: a convener, catalyzer, and funder that ensures resources flow directly to women-led, community-rooted organizations already driving transformative, gender-just climate action.
By reinforcing existing infrastructures built by women, trans, intersex, and non-binary leaders, GAGGA ensures that resources flow directly to those with the deepest contextual knowledge and the greatest potential for lasting impact. This approach enables communities to scale their work from the local to the global, not through replication, but through the amplification of proven, locally grounded solutions.
GAGGA partners with funders committed to accelerating climate solutions that are both effective and just.
GAGGA and its institutional and philanthropic partners recognize that frontline communities are not just victims of climate change – they are critical agents of adaptation, mitigation, ecosystem restoration, and climate transformation. Addressing climate change requires resourcing those already leading change on the frontlines.
By partnering with GAGGA, funders can advance climate resilience in regions most vulnerable to climate impacts by supporting women-led Community Based Organizations that are already responding with proven, locally grounded solutions.
GAGGA offers funders a direct pathway to reach deeply underfunded frontline communities – those disproportionately affected by climate change, actively creating solutions, yet largely excluded from traditional climate finance. Through GAGGA, local leadership is connected to global platforms, ensuring that community voices shape international climate policy and advocacy from the ground up.
Over the past decade, GAGGA has cultivated a powerful ecosystem of women, trans, intersex, and non-binary climate leaders advancing community-rooted climate action across the Global South. By connecting feminist movements, environmental justice groups, and Community Based Organizations, GAGGA has strengthened locally led solutions that address the climate crisis from the ground up, where impact is most effective and enduring.
GAGGA’s five-year goal (2026–2031) is to sustain and deepen this proven infrastructure, ensuring that frontline climate leadership continues to thrive, scale, and influence systems well beyond individual projects. This means protecting what works, removing persistent systemic barriers, and amplifying the voices of those most affected by, and already responding to, climate change.
Your funding will be directly channeled towards:
Sustaining what works
- Sustain and grow the number of frontline, women-led climate partners receiving flexible, long-term support.
- Maintain and strengthen GAGGA’s peer-to-peer learning and cross-regional knowledge exchange platforms that connect movements and regions.
- Increase the collective capacity of frontline partners to design, implement, and sustain climate mitigation and adaptation initiatives rooted in local realities.
Elevating frontline voices
With your support, GAGGA will:
- Equip frontline partners with the tools, networks, and platforms needed to influence climate policy at local, regional, and global levels.
- Strengthen its role as a trusted bridge between frontline communities and global institutions.
- Ensure that those with lived experience and proven solutions have a seat and a voice at global climate decision-making tables.
GAGGA operates through a collaborative alliance funding mechanism designed to ensure that resources reach women-led Community Based Organizations effectively, transparently, and with strong accountability. Rather than functioning as a standalone legal entity, GAGGA works through its three registered Alliance Members – Both ENDS, Fondo Centroamericano de Mujeres (FCAM) Foundation, and Mama Cash – each of which brings long-standing expertise in feminist, environmental, and climate justice grantmaking.
One Alliance Member acts as the formal grant signatory for institutional and philanthropic donors. The grant signatory holds overall legal and financial responsibility for the grant, including donor reporting and compliance, and channels funds to the other Alliance Members through formal agreements.
Funds mobilized through GAGGA are distributed by Alliance Members directly to women-led Community Based Organizations, women’s and feminist funds, and environmental justice funds across the Global South. Each Alliance Member manages grants within its geographic and thematic focus, using its own established policies, procedures, and due diligence systems to ensure responsible grantmaking.
GAGGA is not currently in the position to accept donations from individuals. However, if you represent an institutional or philanthropic funder, please reach out to our Donor Engagement Officer, Florencia Tinnirello, at f.tinnirello@fcamfoundation.org
GAGGA is an alliance, not a standalone legal entity. It is led by Fondo Centroamericano de Mujeres (FCAM) Foundation, Both ENDS, and Mama Cash. All three entities are registered organizations in their respective countries.
