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.
Each year members of the Ripple Fund collaborate with WFA staff to select a focus area for these grants. The grant application cycle usually begins in December or January and grants are awarded in May or June. In past years, grants have addressed such issues as women's economic security, health, safety, literacy and education, and issues facing refugee and immigrant women.
The deadline for submitting a 2010 LOI application was January 13th. Grants will be announced in June.
