Grant Funding For Women In 2009
Columbus,
OH
- Grant-making organizations are gearing up to allocate more
funding to women in the year 2009. Grants are often used by
women to start or expand a business, attend college, pay off
loans, and/or launch a non-profit organization to help other
women.
Big organizations,
such as the American Association of University Women (www.aauw.org),
are already making their 2009 applications available for interested
ones to apply for fellowships, career development grants,
and community action grants.
Others
include the Association For Women In Mathematics (www.awm-math.org)
- who are giving away thousands in travel grants for women
to do research; the Moms In Business Network (www.mibn.org)
- who are giving away grants for women to start businesses;
and WebMomz (www.webmomz.com), who also are giving away business
grants.
Even
the Verizon Foundation (foundation.verizon.com) is looking
to donate more grant money to women who are victims of domestic
violence.
However
it's allocated, the millions of dollars in grant money available
each year for women are investments in the talent, creativity,
intellect and determination shown by them in various industries
and fields of study. Women are huge contributors to the economy,
the workforce, entrepreneurship, and to the development and
management of non-profit organizations.
Such
grants empower women in many different ways, and have proven
to be extremely successful. As a result, every year, more
and more opportunities appear for women from new organizations,
government agencies, and corporations wanting to get involved.
