About Us
RWFund has been established as a new organization within the strategic transformation process of Women's Program of the Fund for an Open Society Serbia, based on the 5 years experiences of developing programs in the area of women's human rights.
Reconstruction Women's Fund is the first local women's foundation in Serbia.
Its mission is to support women's emancipative social and political role.
RWFund was founded by these three organizations.:
- Fund for an Open Society Serbia
- Women in Black Belgrade
- Women's Studies and Research Novi Sad
Due to the requests of the new Law on endowments and foundations, RWF re-registered in October 2011. For the new founders of the Fund, Slavica Stojanović and Svenka Savić were appointed and Women in Black stayed as an organization.
RWFund's basic function is grant-giving and strategic connection of compatible initiatives.
Our goals are:
- to support women's NGOs developing their programs from cumulative to public strategizing,
- to empower networking, cooperation and solidarity,
- to encourage programs on activists' and theorists' communication
Reconstruction Women's Fund has four principal programs of support:
1. Women's Initiatives
2. Stipends Zarana Papic
3. Rapid Response Grants
4. Special Focus
