Partners

The UN Trust Fund receives voluntary contributions from many partners, including governments, the private sector, UN Women National Committees, non-profit organizations, and concerned individuals from around the world. We are grateful for these contributions and the unwavering support of our partners that makes the important and highly effective work of the UN Trust Fund’s grantees possible. 

Although the list of UN Trust Fund donors has grown and diversified over the years, work to prevent and end violence against women still remains seriously underfunded. Consequently, the UN Trust Fund’s drive to secure adequate funding highlights the need for resources to sustain the remarkable results that grantees have on the lives of women and girls.
