THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Women and Girls’ Support/Empowerment, Civic Engagement, Healthcare Access, Ohio
Deadline: July 15, 2026 (LOI)
“At the Women’s Fund of Central Ohio, our trust-based, capacity-building grants go beyond providing funding. We form deep, collaborative partnerships with grantees and connect them with other capacity-building opportunities. We also strive to make our process as streamlined as possible so that grant partners can spend more time on their mission and less time on administrative hoops. Grantmaking priorities:
- Civic engagement and movement building: Women deserve equal political access, and their voices are crucial to moving society forward. We fund organizations that give women and girls the tools to influence policy and advocate for change, including programs that support women running for office.
- Health and Health Education: Access to comprehensive, medically accurate healthcare is at the foundation of a woman’s ability to be economically secure. We fund organizations that expand access to contraception, provide medically accurate sex education, and deliver programming and services that help women understand and maintain autonomy over their own bodies.
- Leadership and Empowerment: Women and girls already have what they need to become leaders. We fund organizations that help women and girls embrace their leadership potential and show up authentically as themselves. We also fund organizations that provide mentorship and community for women and girls, especially women and girls of color.
- Social Safety Net and Care Economy: Research shows that access to childcare, paid leave, and other social safety net benefits significantly impact a woman’s ability to build wealth. We invest in organizations that are working on long-term solutions to these pressing issues so that women can lead economically secure lives.
- Wealth Building and Career Advancement: A woman’s career and income are two of the biggest factors that contribute to her ability to build wealth. We fund organizations that offer unique solutions to closing the gender pay gap and help women succeed in their careers.”
