Summary
This grant is tailored to nonprofits serving North Carolina, offering support for programs that uplift women and children across key areas of need. It's structured as a women’s giving circle, where contributions are pooled to fund meaningful community-based projects. The focus areas for current grant cycles include preventing abuse, expanding housing access, and supporting mental health for women and children—reflecting thoughtful shifts in local priorities over time.
Total awards in recent years have ranged from just under $8,000 to around $9,250 per initiative, with several grants awarded to different programs each year. Recent funding cycles disbursed a total of approximately $34,750 across four awards. These grants are designed to be responsive and tangible—examples include emergency financial aid for women and single mothers, trauma-informed mental health services for children, transitional housing programs, and parenting support initiatives.
Eligible applicants are strictly nonprofit organizations operating within the county, and proposals must align with one or more of the designated focus areas. The grant window typically opens in mid‑summer, with applications due by August 1, and awardees are celebrated later in the year.
Over many years, the giving circle has become a trusted vehicle for helping local nonprofits, with cumulative grantmaking in the hundreds of thousands. Members contribute small amounts annually, which are pooled into grant funds, operating costs, and an endowment—to ensure both immediate impact and long‑term sustainability.
In summary, this community-centered grant opportunity provides modest but powerful support to nonprofits, encouraging practical projects that directly improve the well-being of women and children—especially in areas of urgent social need.
