The Women Giving Together Fund of the Community Foundation of White County aims to empower women and families in White County through charitable giving. This grant program is designed to strengthen the community by addressing the hopes and dreams of its women and families, directly aligning with the foundation's mission to inspire philanthropic efforts.
Through this grant cycle, $16,000 is available to non-profit organizations. The primary target beneficiaries are women and children within White County. The impact goals are to support projects that serve the needs of this demographic, particularly focusing on areas such as early childhood education, arts and culture, K-12 and continuing education, social/human services, and youth programs.
Priority is given to projects that demonstrate an innovative and unique approach and indicate funding sources other than the grant requested from CFWC. This suggests a strategic priority of fostering creative solutions and encouraging collaborative funding efforts, aligning with a theory of change that diversified funding and novel approaches lead to more sustainable and impactful community improvements.
The expected outcomes include enhanced services and opportunities for women and children in White County across the specified focus areas. While specific measurable results are not detailed in the provided text, the emphasis on serving needs, innovative approaches, and diversified funding implies a desire for projects with demonstrable positive changes within the community. Projects not funded include non-charitable projects, those fully funded by local government, endowments, ongoing operating budgets, religious activities, special events, political organizations, national/state fundraising, and discriminatory projects, further defining the strategic priorities and desired outcomes of the fund.
