Our Grant Process

Our grant process is designed to offer support, foster transparency, and provide you with an opportunity to showcase your organization’s commitment to supporting women and their families.

Applicants can request grants, in any amount, up to $25,000 for either unrestricted general operating funds or project funds.

Note: Applicants with budgets of $5 million or more may apply only for project funding.  

The application portal opens November 1

Applications are due no later than 5:00 p.m. EST on December 15.

Grant Applications are reviewed from mid-December through the end of May by a team of BWGC volunteer grant readers. During the review process grant readers may request a site visit.  Grant reader teams recommend organizations and projects for funding. The final decision on grant recipients is determined by a vote of the BWGC membership.

Grant Notification: Grant applicants receive notification by early June.

Grant Period: Grant funds are available for use beginning July 1 through June 30 of the following year.
