Grants target women’s issues in Chenango County
CHENANGO COUNTY – The Women’s Fund of the Community Foundation for South Central New York will be giving up to $6,000 in grant money this fall.
The grants are specifically designed to target non-profit organizations that benefit women and girls in Broome, Chenango, Cortland, Delaware and Tioga counties.
The foundation strives to award participants who show creativity and the ability to be inventive in order to improve the wellness and prosperity of women and girls. One grant will be up to $3,000, with the other $3,000 to be dispersed in smaller increments.
The Women’s Fund was established within the community foundation in 2002 with a base built upon donations from local and regional women, women’s groups and other businesses. The money that is collected is then put into a grant fund, where it provides assistance to women and girls in the five county region.
The grant making committee, evolving from donors, chooses how the money will be disbursed.
Proposals to receive a grant must pertain to financial independence, empowerment, education, personal safety, or justice among women or girls. Proposals need to turned in by Oct. 2. They can be downloaded from www.cfscny.org.
The fund helps promote the Community Foundation’s mission to promote philanthropy.
“We are looking forward to involving our friends and folks in Chenango County,” Program Director Donna Hill said.
Women are the primary caretakers of children and the home, and their work is uncompensated. The foundation also recognizes that gender equality standards help aid for the lack of opportunity many women and girls need to strive in order to be successful and live better lives.
Research proves that for decades, millions of women have been living below poverty levels. Women aged 18-24 are the most likely to be poor, many of which are single mothers. The poverty level among single women of all ages has been significant. (Statistic information gathered from The Women’s Fund web site)
