Key takeaways

  • Welsh Women's Aid directs its grant funding through a membership network, and its annual report describes support going to members delivering work across Wales, so a group that is not a member should first ask whether it can take part.
  • Its themes are children affected by domestic abuse and violence against women, so work in those areas is the clearest fit.
  • No grant range is stated, so avoid assuming a size, and because no application process is published, use the contact shown to get in touch first; the report also describes funding-opportunity updates and bespoke advice on project funding for members.
  • No deadlines or timings are given, so an early conversation is the sensible starting point, and nothing published shows how competitive awards are, though the membership route suggests a relationship-led approach.
