The Women’s Philanthropy Fund is a component fund of the Amarillo Area Foundation dedicated to supporting nonprofits and charitable agencies that serve the top 26 counties of the Texas Panhandle. This grant opportunity is designed for 501(c)(3) organizations and similar entities that aim to benefit local communities through programs primarily focused on women and children.
The fund targets two major focus areas: self-sufficiency and health and safety. Programs promoting self-sufficiency may include services like affordable housing access, transportation assistance, emergency shelter, or education and job training initiatives. Meanwhile, health and safety-related programs might offer preventive medical care, healthcare education, leadership development for women and children, or mental health support. Applicants are expected to propose initiatives that address critical needs, employ innovative solutions, and demonstrate collaboration.
Grant awards range from $2,500 to $10,000. While total program funding and the number of awards have not been disclosed, the fund clearly emphasizes impactful and community-driven initiatives. The grant is not offered on a rolling basis but is recurring, with cycles reopening annually or as determined by the foundation.
Eligible applicants must be nonprofit or charitable organizations using the funds within the designated 26-county area. Only one application per organization is allowed. The review process is managed by the WPF Grant Committee, and no in-person presentations are required.
Applications can be submitted through the online portal at aaf.spectrumportal.net when the cycle is open. Specific dates for opening or closing are not listed on the source page. Contact for questions or assistance is available at 806.376.4521. As application questions are not posted and no deadlines are stated, interested applicants are encouraged to visit the grant portal or contact the foundation directly for updates.
