Who we are looking for
We are seeking applications from teams or individuals to carry out a review and provide recommendations for our grantmaking and partnership approach. We are keen to hear from those with a deep knowledge of the feminist funding ecosystem, flexible grantmaking, feminist partnership and feminist movements, especially in Eastern and Southern Africa and South Asia.
Scope of Work
We are seeking to review both our partnership and grantmaking to better align them with each other and with our organisational size, strategy and aspirations, including around anti-racism and decolonisation.
The selected individual/organisation will be responsible for a comprehensive review of and concrete recommendations on Womankind’s partnership and grantmaking approaches, including:
- The context and external landscape for Womankind’s partnership and grantmaking, including identification of existing gaps in funding and support for feminist movements that an organisation such as ours could lean into
- Identification of Womankind’s value add and niche, including how we can best harness our approach and position to increase our impact, effectiveness and efficiency in support of feminist organisations and movements
- Review Womankind’s grantmaking against best practice among other flexible and feminist funders, including:
- the effectiveness and alignment of Womankind’s current funding streams
- practices we should continue, adapt and/or adopt
- Womankind’s approach to partnership, including:
- with whom and how we partner, including the number and type of partnerships we currently have
- the types of support we provide or could offer
- how we start and responsibly end partnerships
- The potential for either broader or more narrow scope to our grantmaking and partnership
Our current income, targets and funding prospects, as outlined in our recent financing strategy review, should be considered throughout.
Deliverables
- An inception plan for the work to be carried out at the start of the project. This should include an outline of the approach the review will take, how it will incorporate consultation with Womankind staff, partners, grantees and other key stakeholders within the space, a clear timeline, and a detailed list of information required from the Womankind staff team to inform analysis
- An updated review of the external context for feminist funders and movements and identification of specific niches/gaps that Womankind is well placed to fill
- Recommendations to improve the efficiency, effectiveness and impact of Womankind’s grantmaking
- Recommendations to improve the effectiveness and impact of Womankind’s partnership approach
- Recommendations to improve the alignment between Womankind’s strategies and workstreams and our grantmaking and partnership approaches
