The Another Way Women’s Foundation (AWWF), a UK-based volunteer-led charity, has announced the launch of its latest funding round aimed at empowering women and girls through community-led initiatives.

Open to UK-based individuals and not-for-profit organisations, this round focuses on projects supporting women and girls in business and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).

There are 2 funding options available:

AWWF Grant: grants of up to £5,000 for larger-scale impactful, sustainable projects which can demonstrate measurable and lasting impact
£1,000 for 1,000 Words: grants of £1,000 in seed funding for applicants who can concisely present their ideas in 1,000 words

Priority will be given to initiatives in business and STEM, though other areas may be considered. Funding supports both pilot projects (helping projects demonstrate proof of concept) and essential service delivery for support organisations. Applications and projects must align with AWWF’s charitable aims: relief, education, empowerment, and advancement of women.

The deadline for submissions is Tuesday 30 September 2025.
