Overview

Mission

Global Foundation for Girls (GFG) is a Black, Queer, Woman and Youth-led intermediary working with girls of color, gender-fluid youth, and birthing persons of color. GFG focuses on funding distribution, capacity building, technical assistance, and network convening for community-based organizations, particularly those working with issues related to gender-based violence, birth justice, and maternal health equity.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization prioritizes a community-centered approach, centering the voices, experiences, and leadership of girls, gender-diverse youth, and birthing persons of color. This involves actively engaging with community members to understand their needs, aspirations, and priorities, and working collaboratively with them to co-create and implement programs and initiatives that address their specific challenges and promote their empowerment and self-determination.

Operating model
