The objective is to address the chronic problems impacting women and families in Bergen County by facilitating the creation and expansion of programs that prevent women from slipping into poverty or economic insecurity.

Funding Areas

Women United in Philanthropy awards grants to help women (including girls ages 15 and over) and their children in the broad areas of Health & Wellness, Career Advancement, Job Training & Placement, Safe & Affordable Housing, Food Security, Child Care and Emerging Needs.

The examples given are not exclusive:

  • Health & Wellness – This includes specialized programs that meet the health and wellness needs of women and their children, including addressing physical and mental illness, improving support systems and access to wellness resources, providing access to affordable preventative care or treatment options, and addressing threats to the safety of women and children, such as domestic violence.
  • Career Advancement, Job Training & Placement – Includes programs that advance women’s education and career with the goal of helping women to earn a living wage and improve their overall financial situation. Strategies include job training and placement, expanding educational opportunities, helping women to seek and retain employment, and creating career pathways and support systems to help women advance.
  • Safe & Affordable Housing – Includes programs that assist women in securing permanent affordable housing, providing supportive services such as emergency rental or eviction assistance, and sheltering displaced women and their children. This includes specialist services that address the unique housing needs of women who are elderly, survivors of trafficking, refugees, leaving prison, or in other situations that negatively impact their housing stability.
  • Food Security – Includes programs fighting hunger and food insecurity by providing women and their children with reliable access to nutritious and affordable food. This also includes solutions that promote self-sufficiency and address the factors that limit access to adequate food resources.
  • Child Care – includes programs that provide reliable and affordable childcare options to enable women’s workforce participation. This also includes programs that assist mothers in balancing the demands of caring for children and pursuing their career, and reduce the burden of rising childcare costs.
  • Emerging Needs – provides the opportunity for organizations to propose programs that address budding women’s issues impacting women in Bergen County. This includes programs that tackle threats to women’s advancement, financial security, rights, and ability to thrive.
