Now accepting 2024 Grant Letters of Intent

The Women and Girls Fund of Waukesha County (WGF) is now accepting letters of intent for grants it will award in 2024. The WGF will award grants up to $20,000 each for selected programs or projects.


The WGF, established in 2004, seeks to aid and enrich the lives of women and girls so they become thriving residents of their communities. Each year, the WGF awards grants to local nonprofit agencies to support projects and programs that provide opportunities for women and girls of all ages. Grants are awarded for specific, measurable programs that advance the health and well-being, self-sufficiency and empowerment of women and girls in Waukesha County. 


In 2024, in addition to our annual grant cycle, we have secured additional funding for a special one-time grant for programs focused on mental health, particularly school aged girls in Waukesha County. We are excited to invite applications from organizations that are offering programs or services for this need through this special grant opportunity.


In 2023, the WGF awarded grants totaling $145,000 to 14 area nonprofit organizations. Since its inception, the WGF has awarded more than $1.6 million in grants to county-wide nonprofit organizations focused on improving the lives of women and girls in our community.


Letters of intent for 2024 grants are due in the WGF office by noon on Friday, January 26, 2024. Applicants may submit letters of intent for more than one program or project. Applicants will be notified by Tuesday, February 20, 2024, if they are selected to submit a full grant proposal.
