Until She’s Free is a grantmaking initiative strictly supporting women-led organizations addressing state-sanctioned violence against women and girls, including trans women and trans girls, and gender-nonconforming people, and their criminalization and subsequent incarceration, while also elevating their leadership in bringing about foundational change.

The Until She’s Free Fund restores power to directly impacted women by providing resources through unrestricted general operating support grants and capacity-building opportunities that enhance their organizations’ operations, infrastructure, and programming with technical assistance and education. Until She’s Free grantees selected in our inaugural year of 2020 work strategically in the areas of the restoration of rights, sentencing, and bail reform, community-based alternatives to incarceration, economic justice, and reproductive justice. In 2020, the first year of grantmaking, the Until She’s Free Fund awarded $400,000 to women-led organizations. In 2021, that number grew to $500,000.

Applications due in November
