Grant Application Process
Only 1.6% of charitable giving is directed towards organizations that focus on women and girls, despite an overwhelming need. The Women’s Fund has invested over a million dollars to non-profits that support the needs of women in our eight-county service area: Boone, Butler, Campbell, Clermont, Dearborn, Hamilton, Kenton and Warren Counties.
In 2021, the Women's Fund had $100,000 in grant funding and invested in organizations to support transformation to benefit gender and racial equity in our region. We support organizations in their efforts to improve their operations, build their capacity or invest in initiatives that could change the landscape for women's self-sufficiency in our region.
This application will reopen in 2023. Stay tuned for updates!
