OVERVIEW
The Doria Feminist Fund (DFF) is a feminist fund founded, led by, and serving feminists and activists from the Middle East and North Africa region. It strengthens the ecosystem of feminist leaders, initiatives, and movements by leveraging #nancial and other resources, providing opportunities for capacity sharing, addressing root causes of gender injustice responding to crises, and engaging in funder influencing and philanthropic advocacy. The Doria Feminist Fund believes in centering trust, care safety, and security in its relationships, institutional policies, and practices.
MISSION
The Doria Feminist Fund is a feminist fund that strengthens activists, institutions, and movements through grantmaking, capacity sharing, convening spaces, mutual solidarity and support. DFF ensures that feminist movements have sufficient and flexible resources to identify and determine priorities independently, develop and sustain their activism, produce knowledge by and for their constituencies, and advocate for the rights of all women and LGBTQI+ individuals and groups in their countries. As a feminist fund, Doria mobilizes financial, political, and technical resources from a wide range of funders, and engages in advocacy and education to build an ecosystem of donors that have an understanding of the political, economic, cultural, and social context of activists across the region.
VISION
The Doria Feminist Fund envisions a world where feminist activists, initiatives, and movements across the Middle East and North African region have the resources they need to advance justice and equality for all.
