Podcast Episode #23 EquiNet Talks: Who gets funded?

September 14th, 2026

(H)Our Realities – Episode #23 on Refuge Worldwide

Find our recent (H)our Realities podcast with Jenny Petzold, certified EU fundraiser and funding expert. We were so happy to continue our conversation with Jenny, who previously joined us for a funding workshop as part of our @EquiNetde project, along with Dr. Lana Sirri, our Diversity & Inclusion Expert.

Together, we talk about what happens beyond the application form: what funders are really looking for, why some applications make it through while others don’t, and how bias, gatekeeping, and unwritten rules shape access to funding.

Importantly, we ask what it would take to make funding more accessible, transparent, and fair.

INTERSECTIONAL WORK & SOCIAL CLUB

BIWOC* Rising is the first intersectional work & social club in Berlin and Germany. This safer space is exclusively for women, trans, inter and non-binary people who identify as Black, indigenous or of Colour! Through training programs, empowerment workshops, and a work-desk in the heart of Berlin-Kreuzberg, BIWOC* Rising is creating a new working culture – a working culture that transcends the white, homogenous, capitalist one that has been a core driver of gentrification and marginalization in Berlin.
