Request for Proposals: Resilience Fund for Women in Global Value Chains 2026

Deadline: October 12, 2026

Submit proposals for the Resilience Fund for Women in Global Value Chains 2026. The Resilience Fund is investing in women/non-binary-led organizations building climate resilience for women and communities across global value chains in South and Southeast Asia.

For this funding round, the Resilience Fund is focusing on three interconnected priority areas that shape the health, wellbeing, and resilience of women across global value chains. They are looking to support organizations whose work connects across all three areas:

Women’s health, safety and resilience: work that strengthens women’s health, safety, livelihoods, financial security, leadership, decision-making, mobility, and ability to participate and thrive in their communities and workplaces.

Community-led climate adaptation: work that helps women and their communities prepare for, respond to, and adapt to climate and environmental impacts, such as extreme heat, flooding, drought, storms and changing weather patterns.

Connection to global value chains: work with women workers and/or communities connected to global value chains.

Grant

Selected partners will receive $15,000–$50,000 USD in flexible, unrestricted funding over two years, alongside opportunities to connect, share and learn with other grantee partners through the Resilience Fund’s Learning Hub.

Eligibility

The Resilience Fund welcomes applications from women/non-binary-led, community-based, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Bangladesh, Cambodia, India and Vietnam whose work addresses the Fund’s three focus areas described above.

Applicants must be formally registered and authorized to receive foreign funding, with an annual income of at least $10,000 USD.

Organizations should be embedded in and representative of the communities they serve. Income figures from 2024, 2025 or 2026 will be used as the baseline for determining eligibility.

Application

The application process has a two-step proposal process for submitting applications. In Phase 1, you submit the first application to share basic information about your organization and its work and mission. In Phase 2, a longlist of organizations will be invited to submit a second application to complete the process.
