Our Decision-Making Process

Our grantmaking priorities reflect the challenges identified in The Status of Women and Girls in Eastern Connecticut to advance the equity and wellbeing of women and girls by:

• Empowering women and girls to make positive decisions
• Promoting healthy relationships and preventing domestic violence
• Advancing family economic security
• Supporting access to women's health, mental health and reproductive health services
• Supporting public policy, advocacy and leadership to promote equity

Additional preference is given to programs that demonstrate collaboration among service providers.

Grants will be awarded by early December.
