Women in Motion Grant
Deadline: June 16, 2023
Women In Motion seeks to partner with community organizations to create solutions that will enable women in the workforce to ensure economic and professional growth leading to additional leadership in our communities. Our areas of focus are:
-
Education: Women need additional education to help them negotiate and advocate for themselves and their families.
-
Mentorship: Women need better systems for networking and encouraging growth in each other.
-
Resources: Women, especially women small business owners, expressed a need to tap into resources that already exist in the community in order to increase their professional and business success.
-
Wellness: Women seek to balance personal wellness and professional success with professional and family demands.
Grant requests should not exceed $10,000
