The Women's Fund is proud to announce project grants totaling $53,000 this year! With your support, nearly $1.9 million has been invested in our community since 1997.
We were unable to celebrate the work of our nonprofit partners in person, so we took the party on the road. Take a look at the short video to see snapshots of the grant presentations.
