The L’Oréal Fund for Women aims to support frontline organizations in their efforts to assist women in escaping poverty, combat domestic, sexual, and gender-based violence against women, and empower women and girls particularly through social or professional integration and education. It prioritizes aiding refugee women and women with disabilities.
The L’Oréal Fund for Women grant program is dedicated to supporting projects that empower women and girls, with a comprehensive focus on social or professional integration, education, and the prevention of violence against women. It is distinctive in its international scope, willingness to support projects at various stages of development—from ideation to implementation and beyond—and its specific attention to aiding refugee women and women with disabilities.
The target recipients should be women or girls facing significant vulnerabilities: This includes those experiencing poverty or underprivileged circumstances (such as having no or low income, being homeless, raising children alone, living in isolated rural or suburban areas, etc.), those who have been subjected to violence, refugees, or those with disabilities. The aim extends beyond providing immediate aid, with a focus on empowering these women or girls. This empowerment aims to foster social and professional inclusion, or improve access to education. The support provided may manifest as a service, a tool designed for social impact, or a hands-on initiative.
