Fondation RAJA-Danièle Marcovici appears to be a strongly mission-driven French foundation focused on advancing women’s rights, gender equality, and feminist organizing, with a particular interest in intersectional work that links gender to environment, advocacy, and local community change. It funds both direct service and movement-building projects, including emergency support, women-led environmental action, and feminist advocacy, in France and internationally. Its dedicated funds for neighborhoods, rural areas, and priority territories suggest it especially values grassroots initiatives reaching women facing geographic or social exclusion.
