Answers, openly.

Is my donation tax-deductible in the United States?

Yes. RFLD holds an NGOsource Equivalency Determination (ED), recognising it as the equivalent of a US 501(c)(3) public charity — donations are direct, compliant and tax-deductible.

Where does RFLD work?

RFLD operates through four regional offices — Porto-Novo (Benin), Accra (Africa Office), Dakar (Francophone Hub) and Banjul (AU Liaison Hub) — with active programmes in 35+ countries, and 670 member organisations across the continent.

How is RFLD funded and how much reaches the field?

RFLD is funded by institutional donors including GIZ/BMZ and philanthropic partners. In 2025 we delivered $1.77M, with 85% going directly to field activities and grassroots grantees.

How can my organisation become a member?

Write to admin@rflgd.org with your organisation's profile. Membership is open to African women-led and feminist organisations aligned with our charter.

How do I apply for a grant from RFLD?

Calls for proposals for the Africa Grant Portfolio and the WAFF Fund are published on our Tenders & Grants page and announced in the newsletter.

How do I report fraud, abuse or a safeguarding concern?

Use the Secure Reporting Portal at rflgd.org/rfld-report/ or email integrity@rflgd.org. Reports are handled confidentially.
