The Fund for Women and Girls Awards More Than $200,000 in Grants

The Fund for Women and Girls at the Princeton Area Community Foundation awarded more than $200,000 in grants to six nonprofits that work to help single mothers, families with young children, abuse survivors and high school students.

“I would love it if we didn’t need to continue this work – if our work was done. But it isn’t done. Great needs remain in the community,” said Carolyn Sanderson, Fund Chair. “I’m so very grateful for the support of all our Fund members. I especially appreciate all our nonprofit partners who work tirelessly to help our neighbors get the assistance they need and who work together to address important and sometimes difficult challenges. They are incredible partners, doing their best every day to help build a thriving community.”

Founded 26 years ago, the Fund for Women and Girls is comprised of generous members – mostly women – who pool their donations because they believe they can make a larger impact in the community through collaborative giving.

Each year, the grants committee recommends to its voting members grants for local nonprofits. Since its founding, the Fund has awarded a total of more than $2 million in support to local organizations.
