Are you a nonprofit in the Fond du Lac area? Please use the following forms to participate in the Fond du Lac Area Women’s Fund’s grantmaking process. For questions, please contact us by email at grants@fdlawomensfund.org or by phone at 920-322-8778.
Community Catalyst Grant Application
Applications are due by midnight on February 1, 2025 for the 2025 annual grant cycle. This is our application for our annual granting process. Please read the grant guidelines below for additional details. We are not setting a limit as to how much funds can be requested so that we can foster ideas for projects that are larger in scale and create robust impact with an emphasis on the ability of the grantee to partner with the Women’s Fund. Historically, applicants have had success requesting amounts between $100 and $2,500, but larger requests will be entertained for the reason stated above. Awardees will be announced at our Power of the Purse luncheon in April.
Community Catalyst Grant Report (coming soon)
This impact report is due before a new grant will be considered if you have applied and been awarded funds in previous years.
