Details

Feminine Intelligence Agency (FIA) is seeking funding to support its innovative Agency Calculator Project, a decentralized organizing tool inspired by the UN Development Goals but tailored specifically for women’s empowerment organizations. The Agency Calculator aims to measure and enhance women’s agency across multiple dimensions, such as relational autonomy, financial independence, and social discernment. This groundbreaking tool will empower women and their communities by providing actionable insights and fostering collaboration among women’s organizations globally.

Students will apply their professional writing skills to create a compelling and persuasive grant proposal that aligns with FIA’s mission and funding needs. The proposal will emphasize the Agency Calculator’s potential to drive measurable impact, promote gender equality, and empower grassroots organizations worldwide.
