Atlanta Women's FoundationGrant Fundraising
One of the ways we accomplish this is through raising funds for grants. With those funds, AWF awards local nonprofit organizations financial grants so they can provide critical services to low-income women and girls.
Economically vulnerable women and girls
From atlantawomen.org/what-we-do/grants ↗About this program
The Atlanta Women's Foundation supports organizations that improve the lives of economically vulnerable women and girls in Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, and Gwinnett counties.
The absence of economic self-sufficiency is at the heart of critical issues women and girls in our community face. AWF supports organizations that are devoted to alleviating poverty by increasing access to educational programs, workforce readiness development, mental and physical healthcare, and childcare assistance.
The primary way we accomplish this is by strategically raising funds for grants. AWF awards financial grants to local nonprofits devoted to improving the lives of women and girls across metro Atlanta. Our focus areas are mental and physical health services, education, life skills, and economic empowerment.
Our collective impact model for grantmaking ensures the funds we raise and invest in the community go further. Through this approach, AWF brings our nonprofit grantees together to do the most good for the largest number of women and girls.
