| Grant Making |
| GRANT-MAKING is the heart and soul of A Fund For Women, providing support for worthy programs and projects that benefit women and girls in the Madison area. Since 1993, when a visionary group of original donors raised $100,000 to create an endowment fund, AFFW has given close to half a million dollars in grants back to the community. |
| We know that when philanthropists lend financial support to A Fund For Women, they expect us to make grant decisions wisely, and we take that charge very seriously. To achieve this end, every other year the Grantmaking Committee undertakes a process of identifying and studying issues in the community which have a high impact on women and girls, and then matching grant applications against these concerns. |
| Guided by community needs and influenced by members' interests and input, the study process is rigorous, exciting and dynamic, and it provides us with a flexible, effective way of focusing our energy and the resources provided by our membership. |
| All grants are driven by the overall goal of helping women and children learn self-reliance and reach self-sufficiency. |
