Women United Collective Fund Grants

The WUP Collective Fund grant-making process begins in January of each year with a call for proposals from local human services agencies announcing the grant amount available in the WUP Collective Fund. The total amount available for a grant is based on contributions made through December 31 of the previous calendar year.

The WUP Collective Fund Grant Committee works throughout the first half of the calendar year to evaluate grant requests and recommend two finalists for grant consideration. Donor Members may participate in this process which involves reading proposals, attending discussions and making site visits to agencies applying for a grant.

All Donor Members are notified of the two finalists and may vote for one. Donor Members who are not able to commit the time to serving on the WUP Collective Fund Grant Committee may vote for one of the two recommended finalists.
