Fund for Women Grant Application Opens Jan. 1, 2022
Beginning January 1, 2022, the Fund for Women (FFW) At the Delaware Community Foundation will begin accepting applications for its 2022 grants cycle. All Delaware nonprofit agencies with programs benefiting women and girls are welcome to apply.
The FFW accepts applications from nonprofit, tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) organizations for programs that address the needs and enhance the worth and potential of women and girls in Delaware by helping them to lead productive, self-sufficient lives. The FFW’s one-year grant offers organizations an opportunity to obtain seed money for innovative, creative programming or funding to continue or expand programs where effectiveness has been demonstrated. Grants will not be awarded to individuals.
Completed applications should be submitted online by January 31, 2022. The link to the application will be active effective January 1st and is available at www.fundforwomende.com/grants/ Only online applications will be accepted.
The FFW is offering two grant workshops to assist organizations in preparing their applications. Attending the workshop is optional and will not affect the grant awards. However, historically, organizations that attend the grant workshop have a higher success rate in receiving grants. The workshops will be held via Zoom, on Monday, December 13th at 4:30pm. A second workshop will be held on Wednesday, December 15th 5:30pm. To register for one of these workshops visit www.fundforwomende.com/grants
Presentation slides from the FFW’s December grant workshop will be available after the workshops at www.fundforwomende.com/grants, along with specific grant guidelines.
