Solidarity Projects
V-Day identifies targeted, burgeoning grassroots movements within the movement to end violence against all women, girls and the Earth, and supports them politically and financially so they may expand and deepen their leadership capacity and train others to become leaders. V-Day’s team acts as mentors (when requested) and rapid response support to growing activist leaders.
Rising Artist grants provide support to artists whose work transforms culture. The Rising Fund helps to build the capacity of our partners, while also creating a network of frontline leaders. V-Day also supports anti-violence leaders and projects (such as safe houses) through its grants program.
Through a series of Rising Artists grants, we provide support to artists whose work transforms culture

THE RISING FUND
The Rising Fund provides support to projects, organizations and individuals whose work in creating art and social change is urgent and immediate. Recipients of Rising Fund support focus on shifting patriarchy and changing the paradigm of the issue of violence against women, non-binary people, girls, and the Earth.
