Grants
2008
Civic Engagement Granting Cycle
The
Women’s Funding Alliance (WFA) has issued a Request for Proposal
focused on civic engagement efforts. Grants from this fund will
be awarded in May.
Through
its civic engagement granting, the Women’s Funding Alliance supports
organizations that affect the underlying policies, cultural beliefs,
behaviors and systems that keep women from being fully engaged
in their communities as leaders, participants, decision-makers
and activists. WFA’s civic engagement grants fund efforts towards
ends such as:
1.
More women in decision-making roles in their local/cultural
communities and in the broader community, particularly in marginalized
communities
2.
More women participating in the political process, ensuring
that the voices of a diverse group of women inform and shape
local, state and national public policy
3. More women in leadership roles (community and business)
For
this 2008 granting cycle, the Women’s Funding Alliance seeks to
fund efforts which are focused on the following two areas:
- Developing
women who are marginalized to be leaders within their own communities
through their involvement in the political process
-
Voter registration efforts coupled with additional efforts to
increase female voter turnout in marginalized communities
