The Women & Girls Fund of the Mid-‐Shore, a field-‐of-‐interest endowment with the Mid-‐Shore Community Foundation, is now accepting grant proposals from IRS-‐designated non-‐profit organizations for programs addressing the needs of women and girls throughout the five-‐county region. Completed applications are due in the Fund’s office by November 1, 2017. Grant recipients will be announced at the Fund’s annual spring luncheon in April 2018.
This year, the Fund plans to focus on the opioid epidemic plaguing the Mid-‐ Shore. Qualified organizations whose programs relate to substance abuse issues at every level as they affect women and girls are encouraged to apply for a grant.
Since its founding in 2002, the Women & Girls Fund has awarded more than $507,000 to 82 non-‐profit organizations in Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne, and Talbot counties. The grant application and detailed guidelines are available at www.womenandgirlsfund.org. For information, call the office at 410-‐770-‐8347.
