The first, its "Relief, Recovery, and Reimagining Grant," is an up to $60,000 award for innovative programs, ideas, or projects aimed at creating a post-COVID reality where women thrive. Women and girls, particularly those of color, have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. This grant aims to support efforts that create opportunities that provide women support, access, and resources to be engaged in meaningful work that provides fiscal stability, safety, and wellbeing; choices on how to spend their time; access to high-quality healthcare and family supports; and the freedom to live without fear for their safety.

Online applications for this grant will be accepted April 1 - 30, 2021. Learn more about the Relief, Recovery, and Reimagining Grant here.
