2025 Grant Applications Submitted

This month our three grant committees start the very important work of evaluating the submitted grant applications. This year, 42 organizations have applied for our grants in the areas of Education, Family, and Health & Wellness. The evaluation process spans September through November and includes scoring the grants, making site visits, and selecting two finalists from each committee. Truly this work is core to our organization, so thank you to the 30+ volunteers serving this year!

2025 LOI Window is Closed…

The LOIs of some truly amazing organizations are now being reviewed and qualified. The first 45 submitted will be asked to complete our full application over the summer and our grant committees will begin their work in September. If you’d like to participate in the review process, it is a powerful experience!, please email Karlie Arkin at grantcommittees@100womenfoundation.org and let her know you are interested!

2025 Grant Cycle is Open

Santa Clara and San Mateo County based non-profits are invited to apply for this year’s 100 Women Charitable Foundation grants. In 2024, our membership donations ended up creating 6 grants totaling $180,000, which were granted in March of this year. Our process starts with the Letter of Inquiry (LOI) phase, where we will accept a maximum of 45 applicants in the areas of Education, Family or Health & Wellness. Interested organizations should download the LOI from our Apply for a Grant page; that page also lists the full requirements for eligible organizations.
