Mission & Interests
Goals: Bulgarian Fund for Women (BFW) is the only Bulgarian foundation which supports feminist organizations, collectives and activists that challenge the status quo and work towards a systemic change for women, girls, and all marginalized communities.
Our mission is to support the women's rights movement through fundraising and developing philanthropy for social change.
Our vision is that all women and girls live in a just and equal world where their voices are heard, and their choices are respected.
We are striving to overcome numerous structural problems, among which lack of gender justice, ubiquitous sexism, and misogyny, increasing social inequalities, shrinking space for civil society, attacks against liberal democratic values, insufficient social engagement, and philanthropic support for human rights movements and for achieving social justice.
Our values are solidarity, self and collective care, diversity, accountability, fearlessness, responsiveness, and celebration.
