Pleasure is a universal human right that can not be fully realized where there is injustice and violence against women.
Our Grants
We believe in the boundless ability of the individual to bring about transformative change and the importance of shining light into unheralded realms.
The CRAVE Foundation for Women awards no-strings-attached grants to individuals working on some of the most pressing forms of gender-based violence and reproductive justice. We support those in our local and national communities that are helping bring about a world where pleasure is a universal right.
