The Women Working Wonders Fund (WWWF), a permanently endowed fund of the Greater Lowell Community Foundation, requests proposals for this year’s grant cycle that opens on May 13. The Women Working Wonders Fund announced earlier this year that funding has been increased to award five grants at $10,000 each to program/projects that impact the lives of women and girls while advancing your organization’s mission.
“As we enter into our 17th year, we have been fortunate to continue to grow our endowment and increased grant support to our community,” said Susan West Levine, Women Working Wonders Fund board president. “COVID-19 has increased the needs of the community, the WWWF has responded by increasing the number of grants in 2021 to area nonprofits to help during this public health crisis.”
WWWF provides annual grants in three key areas: assist women in transition, provide leadership development as well as contribute to the beautification of the environment. Started in 2004 by a group of 72 women who each gave $500, the WWW Fund has now grown to $1.3 million. The fund has granted more than $240,000 to nonprofits supporting women and girls in the Greater Lowell area.
