It's that time of year again! Our annual grants process is well underway with an unprecedented number of grant applications. We're encouraged by this turnout because it shows how many organizations are invested in the economic security of women and girls in Forsyth County.
For over 18 months now, we’ve seen how the COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected women, especially women of color. While we are encouraged by the essential work that our grant applicants are providing, we realize that we will not be able to fund them all.
This year, The Women's Fund Board has set a goal to provide $130,000 in grants to support as many organizations that align with the Fund’s mission and values as possible. While we’re close to reaching that target, we’re not quite there yet and hope you’ll consider helping us meet and even exceed this number.
How can you help?
If you have already joined or renewed your membership this year, we thank you for your unwavering support!
Anyone who joins or renews their membership by September 7th will be guaranteed an opportunity to participate in our inclusive voting process where every member gets a vote on the proposals they believe should be funded. We have four membership levels: $100, $600, $1200 and $25 (for full-time students).
We know that these are unprecedented times, and we appreciate your support and dedication to the issues impacting local women and girls. With the generous support of members and supporters like you, we are collectively directing resources towards people and organizations that are building a better future for local women and girls. By improving economic opportunities for them, we're strengthening our ENTIRE community. Thank you for being a part of our mission!
