Submit a Grant Proposal

Before Getting Started
Through our Women's Fund Grantmaking program, we serve to provide funds and challenge grants for innovative, new or ongoing projects of charitable, nonprofit agencies or public charitable activities that fall within the Foundation’s identified grantmaking priorities and that meet local needs.  Please read all of the information on our Women's Fund Grantmaking page before beginning the process of applying for a grant.

The Grant Proposal Form is designed to be completed on-screen and then submitted online.  The form cannot be saved for retrieval at a later time, so you should not begin entering data until you can devote sufficient time to completing the entire form in one sitting.  The form is provided below:
