Welcome to the Women’s Fund SouthCoast FY27 grant application! We are excited to receive your submission for funding this year.

Please complete this application if you are applying for funding a project or program that has not been previously funded by the Women’s Fund SouthCoast. If you are looking to renew a grant from FY26, please fill out the Grant Renewal Application.

An information session for this round of grants will be held on March 5th at 12 PM.

The application should take approximately 30-60 minutes to complete and cannot be saved for completion later, so please ensure you have time and the required materials to finish in one sitting. We are actively working to create a grant portal to launch in FY28. Please note the application cannot be completed and submitted without the following documentation:
  • Documentation of 501(c)(3) status including IRS determination letter and most recent Form 990.
    • If you have a fiscal sponsor, you will be required to submit these documents on their behalf with your application.
  • Documentation of your organization's financials including:
    • A copy of your prior operating budget
    • A copy of your operating budget for the fiscal year in which this grant would be awarded (July 1st, 2025- June 30th, 2026)
    • A copy, if applicable, of your audited financials from the prior fiscal year.
  • Current staff list with names, titles, type of employment (e.g., contract, part-time, full-time) and length of employment.
    • You will have the opportunity to designate a "Grant Lead" during the application. This individual will be the main point of contact for the grant. Inclusion of their resume is required.
  • Current list of Board of Directors (or that of your fiscal sponsor) with names, titles (e.g., Chair, Vice Chair, Clerk), length of service, and demographic information (e.g., race/ethnicity, gender).
Once submitted, applications may not be edited or re-submitted. Please ensure you have filled out all information correctly and thoroughly.

If you have any questions about the application process or encounter technical issues with the form, please reach out to Audrey Straw, Research and Impact Manager, at astraw@womensfundsouthcoast.org.
