The Advisory Committee would be most receptive to grant applications for innovative programs, especially those which are creative, those which will make a significant impact on women in the community, and those which demonstrate collaboration among two or more agencies. We encourage you to consider cooperating with other agencies to develop a program or project which will encompass a broader spectrum of women than you normally serve.
While the 2011 grant cycle is open to any nonprofit organization for programs which benefit women and girls in Richland County, a preference will be given to programs addressing childhood obesity, which exclusively target girls up to the age of (18) eighteen.
