Women Helping Women Fund

The Women Helping Women Fund is a way for women to support other women and their families who are struggling and may be in crisis. 

• Grants are intended to:
  • assist a woman resolving a crisis OR
  • help a woman with a singular "hand UP" to help her back on her path of independence and productivity

Examples include birth certificates, car repair, dental care, air conditioning or plumbing repair, tuition assistance, or a host of other possible needs.

• Grants are NOT intended to:
  • be used as a scholarship, handout, payment of ongoing expenses, or other financial needs that fail to meet WHW's dual goals of crisis resolution or a one-time hand UP

Women Helping Women will NOT fund ongoing expenses, attorney fees, or debt/services already rendered.

• Grants are limited to women in Saline County.
• Applicants must apply through a Partner Agency. The committee will not accept applications directly from individuals.
  • Click here to contact one of our Partner Agencies to apply.
• Partner Agency representatives are not personally eligible to receive funding from the Women Helping Women Fund.
• Staff Members at partner agencies who are not involved in the WHW grant process may apply for funding, but they have to apply through a different partner agency.

There are six grant cycles available each fiscal year.  The deadlines of each cycle are listed below:

• January 5
• March 5
• May5
• July 5
• September 5
• November 5
