Community Based Organisations
The GBVF Response Fund believes in funding the change we want to see in society. The Fund issued a Call for Proposals from community-based organisations that are committed to taking action against gender-based violence. We have awarded grants to 65 organisations in order to support efforts that will have a lasting impact across the country.

Intermediary Partners
Our partnerships with intermediary organisations are focused on leveraging their reach and capability. Through these partnerships, we’re building expertise to fund community-based organisations that are focused on GBVF and that currently don’t have the means to apply for direct funding. Our aim is that through this funding we can accelerate the impact of these Community Based Organisations (CBO’s).
Mikhulu Trust
Mikhulu Trust
Mikhulu Trust is an NGO that implements academic researched programmes on Early Childhood Development, with the main innovative programme called ‘dialogic book-sharing’. By empowering facilitators that work in their partner organisations, the Mikhulu Trust ensures that parents and caregivers – regardless of their education levels – are using easy evidence-based techniques to interact with their infants.
Sonke Gender Justice
Sonke Gender Justice
Sonke is a South African-based non-profit organisation working throughout Africa. We believe women and men, girls and boys can work together to resist patriarchy, advocate for gender justice and achieve gender transformation. They do this through communications and media advocacy, community education and mobilisation, policy development and advocacy, regional programmes and networks, research monitoring and evaluation, social and structural drivers.
Soul City Institute for Social Justice
Soul City Institute for Social Justice
The Soul City Institute for Social Justice’s (SCI) vision is for a just society in which young women and girls and the communities they live in have the health and wellbeing to grow, flourish, and reach their full potential. The SCI has developed a social change model that combines prime time popular mass media and social media with social mobilisation and policy advocacy to create an enabling environment for individual and collective approaches to realising constitutionally guaranteed rights. Its aim is to contribute to the goals of a peaceful society premised on the principles of equality, constitutionalism and the rule of law. SCI programmes seek to build social cohesion, individual and collective agency, and resilience to achieve substantive gender equality, including in areas of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and the eradication of Gender Based Violence (GBV) within a culture of human rights.
Social Change Assistance Trust (SCAT)
Social Change Assistance Trust (SCAT)
SCAT is a veteran human rights and social justice, philanthropy (re-granting) organisation which has been in existence for 35 years. It has pioneered and developed a model of development that has been acknowledged as both empowering and sustainable with tangible impact at the local level. SCAT provides financial support, fieldwork and capacity building to organisations who are located mostly in rural communities in the provinces of the Western, Northern, Eastern Cape and Free State. They categorise our partners according to their developmental stages ie emerging, developing and established and it is on this basis that we determine the level of support required.
