2025 Rapid Response General Operating Fund Open For Applications
WOMEN’S WAY is now accepting applications for the 2025 Rapid Response General Operating Fund (RRGOF), a pooled fund offering up to $10,000 in general operating support to community-based organizations navigating urgent challenges.
We began designing this fund in January in response to what we heard from our community partners: growing uncertainty, deepening funding gaps, and escalating threats to the communities they serve due to today's shifting socio-political landscape.
This fund was made possible through the generous support of the Patricia Kind Family Foundation, an Anonymous Foundation, individual donors across our network, and WOMEN’S WAY’s own investment.
The Details
- Grantees will receive up to $10,000 in general operating support
- Applications open on June 16th, 2025 and will be accepted on a rolling basis
- Decisions will be made within 10 business days of receiving a completed application
- We have currently raised $160,000 and will accept applications until it has been distributed
Priority will be given to organizations that:
- serve communities disproportionately impacted by the current socio-political landscape (including but not limited to: immigrants and refugees, LGBTQIA+ community, BIPOC, low-income communities, or those seeking reproductive healthcare) AND/OR
- are anticipating a significant decrease in funding due to the socio-political climate
