Apply for a Social Change Grant

Receiving a grant from the Women’s Fund of Rhode Island can be transformational.

Women's Fund of Rhode Island grantees differ from other nonprofit organizations in the following way:

• Female participants motivated by their own personal experiences to make a difference in the lives of other women and girls.
• A fundamental belief in the importance of giving disenfranchised women and girls a platform from which to learn and advocate for themselves.
• An ability to hone in on big picture issues (such as sex education and domestic violence) and break them down into smaller components in order to study the issue, engage a broader audience, and develop a plan for systemic change.

If you are committed to ending gender inequity for women and girls in our state then you are eligible to apply for funding.

We encourage you to visit our web site early next year for information on the 2012 grant making cycle and guidelines.  And make sure to sign up for the Women’s Fund e-mailing list to receive program updates and announcement of the new grant cycle.
