The Women's Foundation: Grants

Grants

From its beginning, the foundation’s target has been programs specifically for girls and women, consistent with its goal of changing the feminine face of poverty.

Endowment Fund and Field of Interest Funds
Since 1992, The Women’s Foundation of Greater Kansas City has helped thousands of women and children across the area access the services they need by awarding over $1.3 million in grants to local agencies. Our grants have given local health centers the resources they need to provide better and more accessible services. We have helped improve the self-esteem of women and girls by funding organizations that run support groups and personal healing and growth programs. And we have helped provide safe housing to women and their children by supporting programs that offer emergency shelter and affordable housing to victims of domestic violence.
