The role is particularly focused on ensuring that funding reaches organisations working directly with marginalised communities, especially those led by women and gender-diverse groups.

Grants Administrator Role Strengthens Operational Systems

The role supports administrative oversight across all regional and thematic grant programmes.

Organisational Mission and Feminist Funding Approach

Women’s Fund Asia is a not-for-profit feminist fund that supports grassroots organisations and movements working on gender equality and human rights across Asia.

Its funding approach prioritises:

Women-led and gender-diverse organisations
Community-based human rights advocacy
Intersectional feminist movements
Marginalised and underrepresented communities

The organisation plays a key role in strengthening regional solidarity and ensuring equitable access to funding for grassroots initiatives that often face barriers in traditional funding systems.

Organisational Structure and Governance

The organisation operates through a not-for-profit structure registered in Australia as Women’s Fund Asia Limited, which functions as a subsidiary supporting its regional operations.

It is governed under a leadership model in which the Executive Director serves as the operational head responsible for overseeing implementation of the organisation’s mandate across Asia.

This structure is designed to ensure accountability, regional coordination, and alignment with feminist values in grantmaking practices.

Advancing Feminist Movements Through Strategic Funding

The recruitment of grants-focused professionals reflects a broader effort by Women’s Fund Asia to enhance its ability to deliver effective, transparent, and impactful funding to grassroots organisations.

By strengthening both strategic and administrative capacity, the organisation aims to improve:

Efficiency in grant distribution
Responsiveness to emerging social justice needs
Support for marginalised and underfunded communities
Long-term sustainability of feminist movements

The remote nature of the roles also reflects a commitment to flexible and inclusive work arrangements, enabling participation from professionals across different parts of Asia.

Strengthening Regional Equity and Inclusion in Funding Systems

As demand for gender equality funding continues to grow across Asia, the organisation’s expansion of its grantmaking team highlights the increasing importance of structured, transparent, and community-centred funding models.

Through these roles, Women’s Fund Asia continues to position itself as a key actor in advancing feminist philanthropy and supporting movements that challenge systemic inequality across the region.
