World Pulse began as a place for women to be heard. This fund turns that voice into power and agency.

01

Leadership has always lived in the network. Now power will, too.

Women closest to a challenge bring knowledge, relationships, and ideas that lasting solutions depend on. For twenty years, World Pulse has connected women across borders so they can learn from one another and advance change in their own communities.

The Voice to Power Fund builds on that foundation, putting resources and decision-making in their hands. Women will shape the network they rely on: setting priorities, directing funding, and in turn creating more opportunities for others to lead. The power to shape their own futures—and enable others to do the same.

“I have stopped waiting for permission to lead. I have moved from feeling isolated in my fight against GBV to feeling backed by a global army of sisters.”

Boluwatife Asake Adeniji Nigeria

THE OUTCOME

Lasting change is built together, not delivered

When women closest to a challenge hold the power to set priorities, direct resources, and define success, solutions become more relevant and built to last. More leaders emerge, more communities are represented, and individual voices become collective power.

Your support builds a world where possibility and power are widely distributed for women all around the world—and a model of women-led change that grows stronger with every new leader shaping it.

From voice to ownership

What your investment builds

Five connected foundations that make a community-led global network durable, replicable, and financially independent.

01

A community-led network model

A fully community-governed global network for women’s voices—a model other movements can get inspired by.

02

Leadership pathways and compensation

Paid governance and stewardship roles—advising, deciding, leading—that enable women to keep organizing and advocating at home.

03

Regional hubs

Five hubs across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific, connecting global strategy to organizing on the ground.

04

A diversified funding engine

A two-year runway to build and test sustainable revenue—from individual and peer giving to grants, research products, and creator-led earned income.

05

A living global story archive

A public archive of women’s lived experience that keeps growing—one researchers and media can cite for years.

03

What makes it last

01

A governance toolkit and operating manual

Decision frameworks, committee charters, and governance structures—written down so the model can be adapted for other movements.

02

Paid leadership, not volunteer labor

Women are compensated for the governance and stewardship work that sustains the network, boosting their income, career pathways, and community advocacy.

03

Proof the power actually moved

Tracking who decides, where budget authority sits, and how leadership changes over time—reported back to you.

04

A fiscal hosting backbone

Infrastructure that lets regional groups receive, manage, and deploy funding directly—without a gatekeeper.

04

A different kind of investment

Invest in the shift

Twenty years in, World Pulse’s women leaders are no longer asking to be heard—they’re taking the wheel.

Your investment does not fund a programme cycle. It funds the moment a twenty-year-old network takes ownership of itself—and stays standing when dozens of women’s online communities have closed.
