Money for Humanitarian Innovation- use it to support girls!

The Humanitarian Innovation Fund has been launched, with its own site and acronym HIF. It describes itself as "a landmark grant-making fund to support organisations working in countries struck by humanitarian crises, such as Haiti or Pakistan, to develop, test and share new technologies and processes that will make humanitarian aid more effective and cost-efficient in the future." The first call for proposals is out. Organisations with ideas, apply! I trust there is plenty of room for humanitarian innovation, especially when it comes to ensuring women and girls can fully participate in humanitarian work, their voices are listened to and their needs are catered for.

Fundraising for Women's Organisations

Browsing in search of resources for smallish women's groups, I have come across this excellent new handbook by the Global Fund for Women: Fundraising for Change: A Practical Guide for
Women’s Rights Organizations. It is extremely legible and easily downloadable as a 12-page PDF (link in my list below). It even includes links to organisations funding women's groups.
