Community Care Fundraising
Stories from the Beauty Parlor’s Community Care Fundraising initiative provides financial support to individuals and organizations that are pushing the boundaries to uplift their communities, advocate for local initiatives, and pilot new projects through a feminist lens. During our funding phase, we have contributed a diverse range of experts and organizations supporting women, including the UN’s humanitarian program in Gaza, Iranian activists of the “Women, Life, Freedom” movement, and women’s advocates in rural Kosovo.
This one-year pilot will serve as a foundation for scaling up as we begin engaging with global beauty companies in the next year. We want to spotlight changemakers who are “beautifying the world,” and in doing so create a global network for women and LGBTQIA+ causes.

Building a Global Feminist Community
We’re not just here to tell stories – we’re here to build a movement. By connecting activists, storytellers, and changemakers across continents and cultures, we are creating a global network of solidarity where feminist voices uplift each other.
From Berlin to Bogotá, Kinshasa to Karachi, we are forging a space where the desire for change becomes collective action, where self-care becomes community care.
