Details:
Greenville Women Giving is committed to diversity, equity, inclusiveness, and accountability in the GRANT-MAKING, programming, leadership and membership.
In 2024, GWG intends to award at least one grant in each of the five focus areas: Arts, Education, Environment, Health, and Human Services. The top-ranked grant request in each of the five focus areas will be awarded, but they will not attempt to fund each category equally. The remainder of the funds will be distributed to organizations, based on GWG members’ votes, without regard to focus. For 2024, all grant awards will range from $50,000 to $100,000 and be for either a one-year or two-year period.
Funding will be provided for general operating support, establishment of new programs, continuation or expansion of existing programs, and for capital improvements.
