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
