Women's Foundation of Minnesota Offers Funding for
Programs Benefiting Women and Girls
The Women's Foundation of Minnesota (WPM) works to aid
women and girls organizing for economic, political, and
social change, by providing resources and a voice for
their cause. The foundation does not fund projects outside
of Minnesota.
WFM is currently accepting applications for the following
funding programs:
The Social Change Fund provides resources for women and
girls projects that are designed to have a significant
impact on societal attitudes and behaviors or result in
systems change. Grants are awarded in the following
areas: 1) Social Change/Systems Change -- grants for
programs by and for women and/or girls that are designed
to have a significant impact on societal attitudes and
behaviors, or result in needed systemic change benefiting
women and girls. Grants in this area may be made to
grassroots groups or more established organizations. WFM
does not generally fund direct service unless the program
is a new model with strong potential for replication. 2)
Grassroots Empowerment -- Grants to help bring together
previously unorganized, traditionally underserved groups
of women and/or girls as an initial organizing step in the
process of social/systems change. Grants in this area are
generally limited to grassroots groups and organizations.
3) Women, Money, and Social Change -- Grants to fund new
and innovative efforts that will stimulate giving and
increase support for organizations, projects, and efforts
benefiting women and/or girls. (Deadline: October 1, 2002)
The GirlsBEST (Girls Building Economic Success Together)
program is a five-year grantmaking and public awareness
initiative focused on increasing the readiness of girls,
ages 10 to 18, to achieve economic well-being. Grants will
go to girl-driven programs that have the support and
involvement of women, mentors, community organizations,
schools, and other organizations serving women and girls.
WFM is seeking applicants from a wide range of
communities, with priority given to under-represented and
underserved girls and communities. (Deadline: September 1,
2002)
Complete guidelines for both programs are available at the
WFM Web site.
