Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation Accepting Grant Applications From Shelters for Victims of Domestic Violence
Deadline: August 31, 2007

The goal of the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation (<a href="http://www.mkacf.org/">http://www.mkacf.org/</a>) is to eliminate domestic violence. As part of this effort, the foundation annually donates funds to worthwhile organizations that aid the victims of domestic violence.

Since 2000, the foundation has awarded millions of dollars to women’s shelters across the United States. In 2005, the foundation distributed $20,000 grants to 150 shelters, and again in 2006 the foundation awarded $20,000 grants, totaling $3 million, to 150 shelters in all fifty states.

The funds awarded by the foundation may be used for the operating budget of the shelter, with the exception of staff travel.

Shelters that receive grants may not apply the following year. The foundation wishes to aid the largest number of shelters as possible. This requires it to exclude for a period of one year the previous year’s awardees.

Visit the foundation’s Web site for further information and a grant application form.
