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 has awarded more than $2 million in grants to innovative projects and programs that improve women and girls in the Fox Valley Region. We are proud to have funded 224 projects in Northeast Wisconsin developed by 88 different Fox Valley agencies.
The Women’s Fund offers funding opportunities for nonprofit organizations serving women and girls in Outagamie, Calumet, Waupaca, Shawano and northern Winnebago counties.
Join us virtually or in person for a grantseeker workshop on November 8 from 8:30-9:30 a.m. Nonprofits wishing to apply for a grant from the Women’s Fund for the 2024 grant cycle are strongly encouraged to attend. Information about funding priorities will be presented, along with how organizations can apply for funding. Attendees are welcome to stay afterwards from 9:30 – 10 a.m. for networking and collaboration.
Preliminary grant applications will be accepted through 4 p.m. on Friday, January 19, 2024, for the 2024 project grant cycle. Nonprofit organizations serving women and girls in Outagamie, Calumet, Waupaca, Shawno, and northern Winnebago counties are welcome to apply.
The in-person workshop will be held at the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region, 4455 W. Lawrence Street, Appleton. Note, there is some construction on College Avenue, so plan ahead if attending in person. A link will be sent to those joining us virtually.
We are humbled and honored to have so many applicants for our 2023 Project Grant Cycle. You can learn more about the organizations we supported here.
