Through innovative financing and social enterprise, we support partners to launch and grow women-led businesses that expand sexual and reproductive health care and deliver lasting impact.
When public health systems fall short, feminist organizations step in to deliver care. Through innovative financing and social enterprise, we help partners build resilience and generate income so women and girls can access the sexual and reproductive health care they deserve.
For more than a decade, Fòs Feminista’s Innovation and Social Enterprise Lab has helped feminist partners turn bold ideas into reality. With innovative financing, technical support, and funding, they design and grow social enterprises that expand access to sexual and reproductive health care and create lasting income streams.
Through our impact fund, we provide low-interest loans that help partners scale proven health models—from clinics to mobile units. These investments fuel growth, expand access to women’s health care, and strengthen feminist organizations ready for the next level.
We coach partners to strengthen their financial systems, reporting, and leadership so they can thrive long term. By becoming investment-ready, they build resilience, attract new resources, and ensure that sexual and reproductive health services reach more women and girls.
In just five years, our innovative financing and support have helped feminist partners expand access to women’s health care and scale impact worldwide.

To talk about social entrepreneurship with a feminist lens, implies a recognition that autonomy—in particular, economic autonomy—is not a privilege but rather a political bet. From this critical awareness, financial sustainability is not only an operational outcome, but a necessary condition to sustain life, care, and social transformation processes that we lead as feminist movements and organizations.Lita Martínez, Executive Director
