Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Oak Foundation: Large international foundation funding human rights, gender equality, and LGBTQ+ causes; comparable on feminist and LGBTQ+ grantmaking themes, though globally diversified with much larger grantmaking capacity.
• Global Fund for Women: Large international women's rights grantmaking foundation; comparable feminist grantmaking mission with overlapping themes (LGBTQ+, refugees, intersectionality) and overlapping grantee pool, but with substantially larger endowment and global scope.
• Open Society Foundations: Global philanthropic network supporting human rights, gender equality, and civil society; comparable on thematic grounds (refugees, LGBTQ+, women's rights) and operates in Poland, but at a vastly larger scale and broader thematic mandate.
• Polish-American Freedom Foundation: Major Polish grantmaking foundation supporting civic society, education, and equality; overlaps with FemFund in Polish civil society funding ecosystem and geographic scope, but at substantially greater scale and with broader thematic remit.

Direct peers

• FRIDA - The Young Feminist Fund: Global participatory grantmaking fund for young feminist activists; closely aligned with FemFund's applicant-led selection model and community-driven approach, though operating internationally rather than nationally.
• Urgent Action Fund for Women's Human Rights: Provides rapid-response and safety grants to women's human rights defenders worldwide; directly comparable to FemFund's Pogotowie Feministyczne (Feminist Emergency Service) offering, though operating globally.
• Mama Cash: Amsterdam-based feminist foundation that provides grants to women's, girls', and trans people's rights organizations globally — directly comparable mission and grantmaking model, though with a much larger endowment and international scope.

Regional players

• Women's Fund of Central and Eastern Europe: CEE-focused regranting and capacity-building organization supporting women's foundations across Central and Eastern Europe; comparable mission serving overlapping geographies, though operating across multiple countries rather than only Poland.
• Foundation for a Civil Society (Fundusz Obywatelski im. Wujców): Polish civic society foundation that jointly awarded FemFund the Henryk Wujec Civic Award; operates in the same Polish civic space and shares grantee ecosystem, though with a broader civic (rather than specifically feminist) mandate.

Emerging players

• Astrea Lesbian Foundation for Justice: Foundation specifically funding LGBTQI+ movements worldwide; comparable to FemFund's LGBTQ+ grantee focus (e.g., Kadr na Równość, K*AP Family), though operating internationally rather than within Poland.
