Applying for a Grant from the Women's Fund?
Learn more about social change grantmaking and the Women's Fund grantmaking process at an upcoming community meeting (details to the right), either in Biloxi or Jackson. These meetings will include an initial 15 minute presentation on what we're looking for in a successful Concept Brief (formerly known as a "Letter of Intent"), followed by 45 minutes of informal discussion among meeting participants and WF staff. We hope that this informal conversation time will give you an opportunity to talk to us about your nonprofit and proposed ideas for a Concept Brief. We have found that nonprofits who talk to us before submitting a Concept Brief have greater success in our grants process.
Please RSVP to Jamie at jamie@womensfundms.org or 601-326-0701 if you will attend one of these meetings.
