APPLY FOR FUNDING
Who We Fund
Women's Funding Alliance (WFA) promotes justice, health and opportunity by investing in the future of women and girls in the Puget Sound region. Through its grantmaking program, WFA advocates for social change by supporting organizations that serve and advocate for women and girls.
Economic Opportunity Grants
Our Economic Opportunity grants support efforts focused on increasing wages, assets and overall economic well-being of low-income and underemployed women, particularly single female heads of households and women from marginalized communities.
Community Response Grants
Community Response grants address key issue areas identified by WFA's study, A Closer Look, which examined the realities for women and girls living in the Puget Sound region.
Ripple Fund Grants
The Women's Funding Alliance (WFA) facilitates a giving circle, the Ripple Fund, in which individuals contribute $5,000 to fund specific organizations. Members learn first-hand about issues affecting women and girls in our community, participate in the grantmaking process, expand their personal philanthropy and extend WFA's grantmaking capacity to even more organizations.
Leah C. McCollough Legacy Fund Grants
This Legacy Fund has been created in memory of Leah McCollough, an incredible leader and visionary for WFA and many other non-profit organizations in the Seattle area. Leah passed away unexpectedly in January, 2009. Similar to Leah’s many remarkable contributions to our community, these grants will support non-profit organizations and their leaders in helping them grow to reach their full potential.
