 BACKGROUND
Girls First Fund is a donor collaborative supported by leading philanthropic organizations and individual philanthropists who have come together to champion community-led efforts so that all girls can live free from child marriage and create their own future. The fund was born out of a foundational belief – shared by the founding donors – that community-based organizations (CBOs) hold a unique position to develop locally relevant solutions, identify and engage girls most vulnerable to child marriage, understand the local cultural norms that enable child marriage to persist and engage local stakeholders. With support from Girls First Fund (GFF), over 180 organizations across eight focus countries are currently implementing strategies to prevent and respond to child marriage and gender inequality. In addition, Girls First Fund has recently launched Changemakers, a participatory global grantmaking mechanism which has added 12 new partners in 7 countries to our portfolio.
