The Cary Women’s Giving Network will accept grant applications from March 1, 2024, to NOON on April 2, 2024. Applications received after this deadline will not be accepted, including late submissions due to technology issues. Funds are available for qualified charitable organizations serving the local community.
Grants typically range from $1,000 to $5,000. In 2023, the network awarded $15,000 in grants through this competitive process.
Cary Women’s Giving Network members use a collaborative decision-making process to award grants to local 501(c)3 charitable organizations that have a strong impact on critical and/or emerging needs in the Town of Cary. Grant projects that focus on women and children will be prioritized.

About the network’s grantmaking
Once the application deadline has passed, the Grants Committee vets all the applications and makes recommendations to the full Network membership. Each member votes for her choice of grant award, and final decisions are made once all the votes have been tallied. An awards ceremony is typically held to celebrate grant recipients.
