WHO Foundation: Women Helping Others Accepting Grant Applications
Deadline: September 12, 2006

The WHO Foundation: Women Helping Others (<a href="http://www.whofoundation.org/">http://www.whofoundation.org/</a>) supports grassroots charities serving the overlooked needs of women and children. Grants are provided to organizations serving women and/or children in the United States and Puerto Rico. Specific projects and programs addressing health, education, and social service needs are the foundation’s priority. The foundation recognizes the value of new programs created to respond to changing needs and will consider funding projects of an original or pioneering nature within an existing organization. In order to qualify for funding, organizations must have 501(c)(3) nonprofit status under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and be qualified to receive deductible charitable contributions. Org- anizations must have been incorporated for a minimum of three years prior to application. Preference will be given to organizations with an operating budget of $3 million or less, those not dependent upon government grants, and those with greater organizational program costs than personnel costs. Organizations that have received a WHO Foundation grant in the past should wait three years before applying again. Funding requests must be made using the WHO Foundation application. Visit the WHO Foundation Web site for complete program guidelines, eligibility details, and an FAQ.
