Announcing New Grantmaking Strategy: WOMEN'S WAY Action Partners
After three years of planning, WOMEN’S WAY is turning up the volume of its “powerful voice for women.” The organization, born out of fundraising necessity for women’s issues 35 years ago, is evolving to meet the funding needs of a rapidly changing world.
Starting this fiscal year, WOMEN'S WAY's grantmaking program will consist of two levels of funding: the Community Women's Fund (ongoing since 2006) and the brand new WOMEN’S WAY Action Partners (WWAP).
Through the WOMEN'S WAY Action Partners Grantmaking Program, WOMEN’S WAY will provide up to three years of general operating support for as many as six high-performing, dynamic non-profit agencies that collectively reflect the mission of WOMEN’S WAY. The organizations will be selected based on their individual merits and missions, as well as how they will complement and supplement the other agencies in the group. This innovative selection process and the longevity of a multi-year partnership mean that WOMEN’S WAY's investment in the community will have an even greater impact. In addition to the critical operating support that will be provided, WWAP agencies will benefit from WOMEN’S WAY’s technical assistance support and expertise, as well as the cross-pollination of ideas and mutual expertise from other agencies in the group.
The deadline to submit a Letter of Intent for our 2012 WOMEN'S WAY Action Partners grant program has passed. Our inaugural Action Partners will be announced in late May 2012.
