Empowering Women and Girls
The Women's Fund is a volunteer driven agency sustained solely by donor contributions and led by women who are committed to creating a movement to change the lives of women and girls in our area.
There are four distinct grant programs:
The Women's Fund provides support through grants to local non-profit agencies that benefit the most vulnerable women and girls.
Annie's Fund provides support to individual women in a temporary, resolvable crisis.
Isla's Fund provides support to women students facing obstacles in their educational pursuits.
Women Investing in Women provides support to small women-owned businesses in need of resources to help their business grow and to support their success.
Ann P. Allen Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in memory of our founder, Ann Allen and in recognition of her career as a guidance counselor at T. R. Proctor High School in Utica, NY. This fund provides scholarships to graduating young women from Proctor High School who will be continuing their education.
