Types of Projects
The Leadership Council looks for innovative programs that address problems to be solved, or opportunities to be seized, for the benefit of women and girls. Priority is given to capacity-building activities and new projects within an organization rather than ongoing projects/programs. The Women’s Fund invites proposals that:
- Suggest practical approaches to community problems.
- Promote cooperation among agencies without duplicating services.
- Generate community support, both professional and volunteer.
- Strengthen an agency’s effectiveness or stability.
- Address prevention as well as remediation.
Funding Information
The Women’s Fund will award multiple $5,000 grants to support programs and ideas that aim to better serve women and girls in the Central New York community.
Projects or initiatives that operate under a fiscal sponsor should have the nonprofit sponsor submit a grant application on their behalf. Each organization is eligible to submit only one application. Preference will be given to organizations with an annual operating budget of $5 million or less.
Criteria
Nonprofit charitable organizations determined as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the US Internal Revenue Code (IRS), that provide services directly to women and girls in Onondaga, Cayuga, Madison and/or Oswego counties, are eligible to apply for a grant award.
The foundation does not make grants for the following:
- Recurring grants to a program previously supported.
- Annual operating budgets, except when it is “seed” or “bridge” funding.
- Endowments.
- Religious purposes.
- Loans or assistance to individuals.
- Medical or academic research (except where requested by a donor).
- Activities that occurred before the Women’s Fund’s decision date.
