This spring, the Women's Endowment Fund announced $203,000 in grants – the largest amount awarded in a single year in the fund's history – to 34 nonprofit organizations serving women and girls. This latest round of grants brings the fund's cumulative grantmaking total to nearly $2.3 million.
Several of the nonprofits receiving grants in 2024 were featured in a video about projects the Women's Endowment Fund has supported, including The Maker House, an initiative of the North Hill Community Development Corporation. This year, the Women's Endowment Fund awarded a $5,000 grant to the North Hill CDC to support programming in The Maker House, a women's empowerment space that addresses income and educational disparities for immigrants and refugees by fostering women-owned small businesses.
