2011-2012 Social Change Preliminary Grant Application Process Now Open!
The Women's Fund social change grantmaking program awards grants (typically up to $10,000) to nonprofits doing the best social change work in the Milwaukee area in our strategic funding areas. Funding for social change facilitates the changing of attitudes and institutions that perpetuate the problems that social service works to alleviate by addressing the underlying causes of social and economic inequalities.
We are a social change grantmaker seeking to create a world that is just and fair. Proposals need to address one of the Women's Fund's strategic funding areas - economic justice, social justice, or leadership development - and must have social change and gender impact.
Gender Impact
The Women's Fund funds proposals that are consistent with our gender relevant priorities and expects our grant partners to have diverse boards and staff. Whether gender-specific or universal, engaging in a process that analyzes gender equity is critical. This includes determining whether or how a program will differently affect women and men. Proposals serving females and males should clearly promote gender awareness and feminist principles.
How to Apply
The Women's Fund is accepting preliminary applications online through August 22, 2011, 5 p.m. CT. Visit the Grantseekers section of our website for detailed information about the application process, guidelines and deadlines. Click here to be directed to the online application.
