How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Feminist-Led Movement Building with Global South Solidarity
    methodology: feminist_movement_building
    By directing funding and leadership development to feminist organizations in the Global South and fostering transnational solidarity networks, we strengthen collective power and advance reproductive justice because locally rooted, feminist-led movements are more effective at challenging structural inequities and sustaining long-term change.
  • Flexible and Feminist-Aligned Financing for Sustainable Impact
    methodology: flexible_grantmaking
    By using flexible grantmaking, gender-lens investing, and innovative financing models, we increase the sustainability and effectiveness of reproductive justice initiatives because trust-based funding and feminist financial analysis enable locally determined solutions and address systemic underfunding of women-led movements.
  • Integrated Service and Community Delivery Models
    methodology: integrated_service_delivery
    By combining clinical services, community health promoters, supply chains, and education, we expand access to sexual and reproductive health for marginalized populations because integrated, multi-channel approaches overcome structural barriers like geography, stigma, and health system fragmentation.
  • Structural and Systems Change Through Integrated Advocacy
    methodology: systems_change
    By combining legal reform, policy advocacy, community mobilization, and accountability mechanisms, we produce systemic change in sexual and reproductive health rights because addressing laws, stigma, and institutional neglect simultaneously disrupts root causes of injustice and enables sustainable rights protection.
