Our Finances
Women in Global Health has been volunteer fueled since it was founded in 2015. In 2020, WGH received its first one-year seed grant to set up a core staff of 3 to support organizational development. Our growth has been exponential with the challenge to have sustainable growth.
Currently, the organization remains underfunded in 2023 and beyond. Of the funding we have secured for 2022, a majority is still restricted to programmatic activities and not enough is currently committed for core funding needs (e.g. finance, operations, resource mobilization). While we have finally been able to offer a few multi-year staffing contracts, the majority of our staff remain on short term contracts.
Investing in WGH strengthens the enabling environment for universal health coverage and gender-responsive health systems, including supporting sexual and reproductive health and rights access, maternal and child health and the elimination of gender-based violence. Funding our organization and global movement will allow us to deepen and strengthen our impact, resulting in a Triple Gender Dividend for health, gender equality and development.
