Mama Cash is the oldest international women’s fund – established in the Netherlands in 1983. She supports pioneering and innovative women’s initiatives around the world, because she believes that social change starts with women and girls.

Since 1983 Mama Cash has subsidized more than 6.000 women’s projects and has invested more than 30 million euros. She is active in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Commonwealth of Independent States.

Thanks! I’m making a list because I have to contact each group and get approval first. Sounds crazy to ask permission to give them money, but in some states and within some groups there is paperwork to be filed before it can happen (because I am promoting it on a web site) so I’m trying to cover all my bases. I already have 3 organizations confirmed.
