Established in 2009, the WKU Sisterhood is an organization of women advancing University priorities through engagement and a collective voice.
For their 2021 grant cycle, the group is introducing a second tier of grant award. This year, the WKU Sisterhood will award one or more Impact Grants for larger undertakings and up to four Small But Mighty Grants for more modest projects. Applications for Impact Grants must request a minimum of $20,000 in funding. Applicants for a Small But Mighty Grant may request up to a maximum of $10,000.
“The new tier was inspired by a desire to expand the reach of the Sisterhood,” said Julie Hinson, Chair of the WKU Sisterhood. “We have always awarded grants to projects of various sizes and we generally support multiple projects each year. This change will help the group evaluate applications of similar scope and allow us to maximize the grant funds we have available to support as many projects as possible.”
