Funding Opportunity for Programs for Women and Girls of Color

“Women and Girls of Color are pivotal frontline leaders and organizers in the powerful social change movements that have paved the way for a more equitable and just democracy.” Ms. Foundation for Women.

Recognizing the front-line roles women and girls of color (WGOC) play in social change movements, the Ms. Foundation for Women has issued an RFP to provide over $1 million in general operating grants to groups working in the South that are led by women and girls of color.

The Foundation intends to capitalize on this historic moment where both inequities have been exposed and the strengths of women and girls revealed.

The funding will strengthen the ecosystem of WGOC organizations that are working on social, cultural, and justice issues in 14 states in the South including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.

Grants for general operating support are $50,000 per year for up to 2 years.

Grants are due on Friday, January 21, 2022.
