Guide for Grantseekers
The 2012 Grant Cycle
Thank you for your interest in a grant from The Vermont Women's Fund.
PLEASE NOTE: In January 2011, the VWF began a new multi-year grantmaking initiative supporting programs that directly serve young women, age 15 to 25, with the goal of building increased economic security for those women once they become adults.
Our target funding area includes programs that emphasize education, training, job-readiness, life skills, leadership, experiential learning, self-advocacy, expanded vision and opportunities for success.
We will ONLY be funding programs that target the age range stated above.
Visit the Current Focus page to learn more about these important changes to our grantmaking.
Please download a copy of our 2012 Grant Guidelines below to determine whether the scope of your project fits within our funding criteria.
After reviewing the criteria, if you have questions or would like to discuss whether a specific program at your organization might qualify for a grant, don't hesitate to call us directly: (802) 398-2300.
2011 grant application forms are available below for you to download and save to your computer. All applications must be submitted electronically. Most forms contain highlighted fields to directly input text and other data. These docs are formatted to meet our required standards, so please do not reformat them or delete any existing questions and text. Once you have completed them and compiled all of the required materials, please submit your application via email to our office.
Deadline for applications is 11:59 pm, Monday, January 23rd, 2012.
From all of us at The Vermont Women's Fund, thank you for your work on behalf of women and girls. Your efforts are helping to transform the lives of individuals and communities throughout our state, and build a strong and vibrant future for Vermont.
