The Women’s Fund of North Carolina is a program of the North Carolina Community Foundation, committed to supporting changing and diverse issues, needs and challenges facing women throughout the state. The Fund was founded to establish a permanent endowment dedicated to improving the quality of lives of women and girls in North Carolina, encourage philanthropic giving among women and to encourage funding sources to assign a higher priority to issues and concerns of women and girls.
In 2024, the Women’s Fund of North Carolina will award grants to proposals that focus on housing security for women. The Women’s Fund defines housing security as every person having financial, legal and practical access to a home where they can live with dignity.
Grants are available to nonprofit organizations and programs that serve women and girls in any county within the NCCF network, with a preference for organizations led by women of color and/or women who identify as a member of a historically marginalized population.
In addition to these criteria, organizations must meet all requirements outlined in the guidelines.
For 2024, $20,000 is available from the Women’s Fund through an application cycle that opens on July 19, 2024, and closes at NOON on Aug. 20, 2024. Grants typically range from $1,500 to $5,000.
Organizations must apply for grants using NCCF’s online application system.
Grant decisions are made by a committee of representatives of NCCF’s giving circles, and applicants will be notified of the outcome within 90 days of the application deadline.
