Details:
For 2024, EWF seeks proposals from nonprofits who can help women and families reach self-sufficiency. Families are considered “self-sufficient” if they have access to basic needs and resources. The Self-Sufficiency Standard, published by Pathways PA, a nonprofit advocacy group for women and children, measures how much income is needed for a family of a certain composition, in a given county, to adequately meet their minimum basic needs without public or private assistance.
The Erie Women’s Fund is seeking innovative proposals for projects that address the self-sufficiency gap, by addressing basic minimum needs in any of the following areas:
- Child Care
- Food insecurity
- Health & Healthcare
- Housing
- Work Force Training/Education.
Funding Information
The 2024 grant will be as much as $100,000 and no less than $75,000 and should be able to be completed within a 12-month time frame. EWF is seeking bold ideas that will profoundly change the lives of women and families in Erie.
Eligibility Criteria
Applications may be submitted by any Erie County 501(c)3 organization. Collaborative efforts are encouraged, but not required.
