Doria Feminist Fund is proud to welcome its 4th Cohort of Grantees Partners
Doria Feminist Fund is thrilled to announce its third cohort of grantee partners. This year, Doria launched the call for proposals for its fourth grantmaking cycle. The only feminist fund that provides direct grants to activists, led by and tailored for feminist activists, from the MENA region.
Testimonies from Our Partners
With DFF’s support, Midanik is now formally registered in Sudan and Uganda! This provided Midanik’s team with more confidence, visibility and recognition to sustain their work. Why it matters: in a context where feminist organizing is under severe pressure, flexible funding helped Midanik strengthen both its organizational survival and public legitimacy.
“Our work and partnership with DFF made it possible for queer-led and trans-led initiatives to exist and have our voices heard within the feminist movement in the SWANA region.”
“With the support of the DFF, Roots Lab Africa has made significant progress in strengthening queer and gender-diverse communities across Morocco through capacity-building, visibility, and community-led empowerment. The grant enabled us to implement a series of impactful activities that advance bodily autonomy, gender justice, and intersectional advocacy.”
“DFF’s accompaniment has been far more than a funding relationship. It has been a genuine partnership in feminist movement-building.”
“We completed a full seasonal cycle of workshops rooted in feminist ecology, collective care, and ancestral food practices. Following the initial gatherings and spring workshops, we organized three additional workshops that marked the transition into late summer and autumn food preservation practices. We held a burghul workshop where women collectively cooked, dried, milled, and prepared wheat, alongside bread-making and storytelling around childhood, labour, and survival. This workshop highlighted wheat as both nourishment and memory, and centered women’s embodied knowledge of food systems shaped by necessity, care, and resilience.”
“In 2025, the team focused on integrating climate justice, women’s empowerment, and community participation through the reforestation project in Afrin. Activities included trainings and the planting of 3,192 diverse seedlings with follow-up irrigation and maintenance to ensure sustainable growth.”
“Before this training, I thought climate change was something far from us. Now I understand how it affects our land and our work, and I feel that I can do something about it, even if it starts with a small step.”
