the Grant Application |
For its 2008 funding cycle, the JWF is interested in funding innovative projects that address critical issues affecting adolescent girls. Examples of the types of projects that have been funded by the Foundation include those that focus on education, gender equity, leadership development, dating and intimate partner violence, advocacy and girls’ health. The Foundation will consider exceptional proposals that focus on other areas impacting women and girls, but encourages consultation with JWF before submission.
Most grants range in size from $5,000 to $10,000 and the average amount funded is $7,500. Grant requests for 2008 should not exceed $15,000.
The JWF is seeking to:
• create innovative ways to support girls by funding
projects that address their unique needs;
• identify, implement and evaluate new strategies
that address issues relevant to adolescent girls; and,
• fund proposals that work towards creating social change.
The JWF encourages new and innovative initiatives, but will consider funding, under special circumstances, existing projects that address our mission.
The JWF funds only organizations with their own 501(c)(3) tax status or with a fiscal agent who is a 501(c)(3).
The JWF funds initiatives in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County and northern Israel.
The JWF does not fund operating budgets, scholarships, political campaigns, capital campaigns or endowments.
Organizations will be considered for funding on a year-to-year basis. Previous funding will not guarantee continued funding or prevent future funding. However, the Foundation will entertain requests for renewal funding.
