I can definitely say that this organization has changed my life for the better! I cannot imagine where I would be right now if I had never had such great support!
Since 1994, the Women’s Fund and its grants program has awarded more than $1.5 million in grants to innovative programs that improve women’s and girls’ physical and mental health, ensure their economic security, promote their safety, and enhance their lives. We are proud to have funded 207 projects in Northeast Wisconsin developed by 81 different Fox Valley agencies.
All project & program grants for the 2019 grant cycle must address one of the issues identified in the 2017 Status of Women in Northeast Wisconsin Report (Learn more about the report here.)
