Giving Philosophy
IWDA operates with a feminist, decolonial, accountable, collaborative, and transformative giving philosophy. They aim to shift core, flexible, multi-year funding to local women’s rights and aligned organisations (including those led by and for people with disabilities and LGBTQIA+ people), using their locational power to decolonise funding ecosystems. They engage in movement strengthening, advance feminist and decolonial knowledge through research, and strive to be a values-aligned organisation in all practices. Their approach involves stepping up, standing with, stepping back, and sitting with uncertainty to best support Majority World actors and disrupt power structures.
Tips for Applicants
IWDA primarily works by securing funding for local women's rights organisations and strengthening feminist movements through collaborative partnerships, rather than through open grant application programs. They emphasise building trusting, long-term relationships with aligned organisations, particularly those led by and for women, girls, gender-diverse people, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ individuals in the Asia and Pacific regions. Prospective partners should align with IWDA's feminist and decolonial values and focus on systemic change.

Disability Market Context
NDIS LayerThis organisation shows disability-related delivery signals. The strategic question is whether it sits inside a resilient market, a thin market, or a captured market where large providers take most of the money and local alternatives are scarce.
