 ABOUT THE URGENT ACTION SISTER FUNDS 
The Urgent Action Sister Funds are a global consortium of feminist funds that provide rapid and responsive support for women, trans, and non-binary human rights defenders in moments of need, sustaining feminist activism by supporting the resistance and resilience of frontline defenders. Grounded in our Sisterhood Feminist Principles of Philanthropy, we have a political commitment to share power and work together toward our common vision of sustaining feminist movements. Feminist activists around the world seeded Urgent Action Funds to become a nourishing ecosystem that supports the resilience of women.

 The Partnerships Facilitator will contribute to the resource mobilization work at the Urgent Action Funds as it generates revenue; builds a community of donor activists; and develops partnerships with funders (including foundations, individuals, and bilateral/multilateral donors) that bring new resources to the Urgent Action Sister Funds and to feminist activists worldwide. A member of the Weaving and Activation Team that acts as the team managing the consortium of the Urgent Action Sister Funds, the Sister Funds’ Partnerships Facilitator will provide critical support to UAF’s fundraising efforts.
