Women's Fund Accepting Grant Applications

July 1, 2014

Wooster, Ohio: The Women's Fund, an affiliate fund of Wayne County Community Foundation, is accepting grant applications from nonprofit agencies whose work enables women in Wayne County, Ohio, to change their lives for the better. The Fund focuses on three areas: education, economic empowerment, and health and wellness.

As a permanent endowment, gifts are invested and continue to grow over time. Each year, the earning of those gifts will be used to make grants to programs that encourage the full participation of women and girls in our community, as well as those that create opportunities for their educational, physical, emotional, social, and personal growth.

In this first year, the Fund will award one $15,000 grant to the proposal which demonstrates the most effective use of the grant dollars and has the greatest chance for success. The grant must benefit women and girls living in Wayne County, Ohio.

Complete grant criteria and application forms can be found on The Women's Fund Grants page on WCCF's website, www.waynecountycommunityfoundation.org or by calling 330.262.3877. Applications for The Women’s Fund grant must be submitted on or before Tuesday, September 2, 2014.

Since 1978, the Wayne County Community Foundation has been working to strengthen the community we all share. It is a nonprofit charitable community organization. Since inception, WCCF has awarded over $53 million in grants and scholarships back into the community.
