Small-group Visits to Grantee Agencies
We celebrated with the seven 2014-15 Women’s Fund grantee agencies when they accepted their grants last May at our Presentation of Grants Reception. At our Site Visit Kick-Off, we learned how the agencies are using the funds to change lives in the community. Now we have the opportunity to experience personal visits with the grantee agencies and some of their clients.
Plan on visiting one, two or all of the grantees. Make your own schedule and experience our Women’s Fund grants in action. Click the Register Now button above or below to select your experiences.
The agencies need to limit the number of guests per visit so it is important that you register as soon as possible. Opportunities are booked on a first-come-first-served basis.
Visits will take place between November 16, 2015 and February 26, 2016.
Please do not contact the agencies directly. They have provided specific dates and times when they can accommodate Women’s Fund members and their guests.
