Grantees are also evaluated at least once a year. We freely offer prospective grantees our expertise, and make referrals to provide them with helpful contacts who can assist them with their work. We are non-partisan and do not fund any political organizations. We will make grants to agencies or organizations with religious affiliations, if they can show us that the program is secular and non-discriminatory. Examples of such programs are The Women's Bean Project of the Catholic Family Center, and the Women's Micro-Enterprises of Greater Rochester Community Of Churches.
Grants are to be filed during the summer.
The Women's Foundation Grant-making Committee screens proposals, visits sites and makes a recommendation to the Board. By November 30th all applicants and grantees are notified. We are not eligible, because we do not directly provide services. We're not eligible. We've funded many new organizations.
