WOMEN
WITH ONE VOICE GRANT GUIDELINES
Women With
One Voice (VOICE) grants funds to support new or ongoing
programs that benefit women and girls. Generally, Voice
supports programs and activities that:
·
Focus on health or education of women and girls
· Provide gender-specific solutions to problems
facing women and girls
· Expand choices and opportunities for women
and girls
· Are lead by women or foster women’s
leadership
· Effect long term and positive roles for women
and girls
· Provide programs for girls with learning
or physical disabilities
· Provide programs that build self-esteem through
sports, physical fitness or other means
In
addition to the program characteristics outlined above,
grants will also be made from Julie’s Fund, an
endowed fund created in honor of our former President,
Julie Geis, who lost her life in the terrorist attacks
on the World Trade Center on September 11. Julie’s
Fund specifically funds programs involving the benefits
of sports and physical fitness for women and girls or
programs for girls with special needs.
The
following additional criteria will be considered in
the grant making process:
·
The program is designed specifically for women and/or
girls
· Geographic area served is within the Kansas
City metro area
· Evaluation tools are in place to measure
the success of the program
· Overall effectiveness of the program
· Inclusiveness and diversity of participants,
staff, and volunteers
We
anticipate that all grants will fall in the range of
$1,000 to $7,000. (Last year the highest grant awarded
was $5,000.)
VOICE
will not fund individuals, government agencies, religious
organizations for religious purposes or activities,
capital fund drives, or political parties or candidates.
The grants awarded will be funded in December.
Applications
should be mailed to Women With One Voice, P.O. Box 2165,
Lee's Summit, MO 64063.
