Applications are available beginning March 4. Visit nccommunityfoundation.org for information about applying. The deadline for applications is April 5 at noon.

The Cary Women’s Giving Network members use a collaborative decision-making process to provide grants to local 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.

Grants are not available for regranting purposes, capital campaigns, capital improvements, out-of-state travel or for individuals.
