     | Monday, March 19, 2001 - 05:01 pm The GLOBAL FUND FOR WOMEN provides flexible, timely grants to women's groups around the world striving to improve women's human rights. The challenges that women face vary widely across communities, cultures, religious traditions, and countries. We believe that women themselves know best how to determine their needs and propose solutions for lasting change. The GLOBAL FUND listens to women's groups, and supports their efforts to improve the situation of women, even when the issues they address are difficult or controversial. We also believe that the way in which we do our work is as important as what we do. This philosophy is reflected in our flexible, respectful, and responsive style of grantmaking. Since 1987, we have given over $18 million in grants to women's rights groups in more than 150 countries and territories. The 1,800 grantee organizations that we have funded are doing critical work, including: improving women's health and reproductive rights challenging harmful traditional practices increasing women's economic independence expanding girls' acccess to education ensuring disabled women's rights engaging in peace-building and conflict resolution efforts, and strengthening women's political participation. The GLOBAL FUND FOR WOMEN, incorporated in 1987, has public charity, nontaxable, 501(c)(3) status in the United States. We are a non-endowed foundation and rely on the annual support of many generous individuals, foundations, and corporations. We do not fund inside the United States, although we support the efforts of women's funds working on similar issues in this country. contact Blackrap704@cs.com for more info. And stop the somalian man from fuc2k@ing your life up.
