The Women's Fund for the Fox Valley Region, Inc. is accepting preliminary applications for 2021 Project Grant cycle.

In 1994, a group of committed individuals came together and established a permanent endowment to focus solely on improving the lives of women and girls in the Fox Valley region. Their dream is now the heart of the Women’s Fund’s mission to promote the advancement of women and girls in our community. 

Funding Focus Areas

All project & program grants for the 2020 – 2021 grant cycles must address one of the following funding focus areas:

• Women and girls live in safety.
• Women and girls meet their basic needs, including food, shelter, and access to health care.
• Women and girls have the education, opportunity, and self-determination to be economically secure.
• Women and girls are empowered to develop and apply their leadership skills personally and professionally.
