WOMEN’S WAY ANNOUNCES NEW GRANTMAKING STRATEGY
After three years of planning, WOMEN’S WAY is turning up the volume of its “powerful voice for women.” The organization, born out of fundraising necessity for women’s issues 35 years ago, is evolving to meet the needs of a rapidly changing world.
WOMEN’S WAY is a catalyst for change with three initiatives to impact women, girls and families in our region: grantmaking, advocacy and public education. The grantmaking program will now consist of two levels of funding: the brand new WOMEN’S WAY Action Partners (WWAP) and the Community Women’s Fund, ongoing since 2006.
Starting this fiscal year, WOMEN’S WAY will provide up to three years of general operating support for up to six high-performing, dynamic nonprofit agencies that collectively reflect the mission of WOMEN’S WAY. The organizations will be selected based on their individual merits and missions, as well as how they would complement and supplement the other agencies in the group. This innovative selection process and the longevity of a multi-year partnership mean that WOMEN’S WAY’s investment in the community will have an even greater impact. In addition to the critical operating support that will provided, WWAP agencies will benefit from WOMEN’S WAY technical assistance support and expertise, as well as the cross-pollination of ideas and mutual expertise from other agencies in the group.
