Our Supporters
Womankind is a charity. We depend entirely on the individuals, organisations and Government departments who fund us. They enable us to work with women in developing countries, giving them the ability to transform their lives.
Donations from individuals
All kinds of people from across the UK and abroad support Womankind. In 2009/10, they gave £662,988 in donations, gift aid and through monthly gifts.

Grants from trusts and foundations
Income from trusts and foundations in 2009/10 was £499,793. Many of our trust supporters have been with Womankind for a long time and we greatly appreciate their loyalty. We work in partnership with them to help women transform their own lives and to raise their status in the community.

Corporate Partnerships
Support from companies who share our vision and values has helped Womankind improve the lives of countless women and their communities. Some of these partnerships have been long standing — such as the Body Shop who had supported Womankind in many ways for more than a decade.

Support from community organisations and schools
Our supporters also include community organisations – from the Women’s Institute to domestic violence organisations – and schools. We appreciate all their support, whether it’s an annual donation or money raised at a fundraising event.

Government grants
Womankind Worldwide is fortunate to have the support of a number of UK Government departments, including the Department for International Development and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. We received £630,889 from this source in 2009/10. However, Government ministers also exert priceless influence at international fora and on other countries’ governments to push for better human rights for women.
