Rosa is a grant-making charity that funds women’s and girls’ organisations. They work to make the UK a fairer and safer place. They do this by bringing in new sources of funding, investing resources into the women and girls sector, and by building a community of organisations that are connected in their cause to build a more equal society.

Their extraordinary team of dedicated and dynamic colleagues work tirelessly not only to support our investment in women’s and girls’ organisations, but who also provide ongoing training, events, research and communication in order to build capacity across the wider sector.
