These grants must be used for professional development purposes, such as continuing education, coaching, workshops, or courses. You may assemble a professional development package of services that includes multiple types of professional development. For example, you may request to attend a training institute and have three follow-up sessions with a coach.  

Funds must be primarily used within the 2025-2026 grant year (July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026). However, we know that the timing of programs may differ; therefore, we have extended the timeline until December 31, 2026. 

The estimated grant range for an individual is $2,500- $5,000. For groups of women applying together, the range is $5,000 – $7,500.  

Applications are due by April 10. Decisions will be announced by mid-May. 

Grants are made only to tax-exempt organizations that qualify under section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code. Grants will not be made to individuals.
