We are pleased to announce that the Long Island Fund for Women and Girls will make a seventh round of grants. The Fund will not support individuals, religious organizations for religious purposes, or programs and projects outside of Nassau or Suffolk Counties. No capital grants for construction or equipment will be made.
Women have an unequal share of resources in our society.
Promoting physical and mental health, and ensuring the safety of women and girls. Addressing systemic problems that have a negative effect on women and girls such as discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation, age, or physical ability. Highlighting the issues of gender equity in education with programs that encourage girls and young women to pursue math, science, engineering, technology and sports, or initiatives that deal with the problems of harassment. Please note that we are also specifically seeking proposals that address the needs of, or seek to involve, older women in any of the categories detailed above. In developing your proposal, you must decide and then clearly state which ONE of the five funding categories you are addressing.
