Bulgarian Fund for Women (BFW) is the only indigenous donor in Bulgaria that raises funds and gives grants to local NGOs working to advance women's and girls' rights, eliminate gender stereotypes, gender-based violence and discrimination, achieve gender equality in all spheres of life and make a social change. We support and empower local NGOs working on gender issues and empower girls and women by involving them in our network and making them active participants and drivers of the social change. Our vision is a world free of violence, discrimination and inequality, where all girls and women will be able to realize their full potential, will have equal opportunities, will have access to education and other services, will make informed choices about their bodies and lives. Our mission is to mobilize local resources to develop a women's movement and female philanthropy for social change in Bulgaria. We work to advance girls'and women's rights, raise awareness on gender stereotypes and eliminate them, all forms of discrimination and gender-based violence and achieve gender equality.
