For years, ConnectHER partnered with women-founded, locally led organizations advancing the rights and wellbeing of women and girls around the world. Our grants helped strengthen work in areas including maternal health, education, and leadership.

Today, ConnectHER’s projects are sparked by films submitted to ConnectHER Film Festival and the filmmakers behind them. The film Asma inspired our Scholars program in Bangladesh, supporting girls in their education. When war broke out in Gaza, ConnectHER filmmakers became our trusted team on the ground, and together we partnered to deliver life-saving aid to their communities. By investing in the people closest to challenges and supporting solutions from within their own communities, our projects are rooted in authentic representation.

Special thanks to our Giving Circle, Gems, Stahl Family Foundation, and Human Act for making these projects possible.
