Women’s Fund of Western Massachusetts’ 2024-2026 Funding Opportunities
The Women’s Fund of Western Massachusetts (WFWM) is welcoming grant applications for its 2024 grant cycle. The WFWM will give out approximately 10 to 15 grants ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 and strongly encourage smaller community-based grassroots organizations to apply. Organizations with fiscal sponsors are also welcome to apply. The WFWM Grantmaking Committee hopes these grants will have a meaningful impact on your project or organization.
These unrestricted grants offer an opportunity to direct the funds toward your organization’s general operations or a specific program. As a new grantee, you’ll receive funding for two years, contributing to stability and ongoing impact. The WFWM encourages organizations serving women and girls and transgender and gender-diverse people in Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden, and Hampshire Counties to apply. Priority will be given to organizations aligning with race and gender justice and equity, and our strategic pillars: economic security, equality in positions of power and leadership, and freedom from gender-based violence.
The WFWM strives to make the application process as inclusive as possible. To apply, please complete this online application and submit a brief, one-page letter of intent. We understand that not all organizations communicate in the same way, so we also accept video submissions or grant proposals written for other funders in place of the narrative portion of the written letter of intent. If you require the application to be translated into a language other than English or Spanish, please reach out to Amihan Matias at amatias@mywomensfund.org.
Applications are due by midnight on May 15, 2024.
The WFWM Grantmaking Committee will announce grant recipients in July/August of 2024.
