Grants
Dear Greenville Community Organization:
Welcome to our website. Greenville Women Giving is committed to strengthening our community through the collective resources of our members by awarding high-impact grants in five areas: arts and culture, education, environment, health, and human services.
Now entering our third year, we currently have 300 members. Thus far, we will have at least $300,000 to award to community organizations in 2009.
On this website you will find an outline of the GWG grants process: the grant application timeline, grant-making guidelines, information on eligibility for funding and funding priorities, and specific information on how to apply for a grant. Please note that all grant applications are due at the office of the Community Foundation of Greenville no later than 4 p.m. on January 30, 2009.
The Grants Review Committee is made up of volunteer GWG members. These members review the grant applications and decide which grant requests will be included on the ballot mailed to the GWG membership in mid-April. Each member has equal status and an equal vote. Voting by the membership will determine the grant recipients. The awards will be made at GWG's annual meeting on May 21, 2009.
We appreciate the good work you do in our community, and look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
GWG Grants Review Committee - October 9, 2008
