The Fund for Women & Girls supports organizations that improve the lives of girls and the women who raise them.
Founded in 1998, the Fund for Women and Girls is a diverse group of community members who together invest in nonprofit organizations that improve the lives of economically vulnerable women and children in greater Mercer County. Fund members review applications, conduct site visits to applicants, and vote to award grants. Most awards are one-year grants of up to $25,000.
