WHY PARTICIPATORY GRANT MAKING?
There is no one right way to practice participatory grant making. In the case of VidaAfrolatina, participatory grant making is a process by which collective funding decisions are made by the organizations that apply for our grants. These Afro-descendant women-led groups read each other’s proposals and score them using a rubric based on selection criteria they co-created.

Invest in Afro-descendant Women’s Solutions
For funders committed to eradicating violence from women’s lives, improving women’s health and wellness, strengthening feminist movements or addressing systemic racism, VidaAfrolatina provides a mechanism to reach women who are disproportionately impacted, routinely overlooked and outside the purview of traditional philanthropy.
