The Hestia Woman’s Giving Circle makes grants to promote economic self sufficiency and well being for women and girls in Emmet and Charlevoix Counties, Michigan. The giving circle supports programs delivered by eligible community organizations and educational institutions.
Typical grants range from 1,000 to 4,000 dollars. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofits, educational institutions from preschool through college, and all units of government that provide programs or services for women and girls in the two county area. Applicants without tax exempt status must use a qualified fiduciary. Applicants must be current with tax status and, where applicable, registration to solicit charitable donations in Michigan.
Projects should clearly benefit women and girls in the service area and demonstrate organizational capacity to deliver the proposed work. The grant duration is not specified in the public description.
