What do the funds support?
The Women Helping Women Fund is a way for women to support other women 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, or a host of other possible needs.
- Grants are NOT intended to:
- be used as a scholarship, hand out, payment of ongoing expenses, or other financial needs that fail or 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.
