Deadline: 1-Feb-21
The 2021 Women United RFP is now available. The Women’s Fund is dedicated to funding initiatives that support women and girls in Tarrant County.
Since 2008, Women United (WU) has harnessed the power and dedication of women leaders to transform Tarrant County into a stronger community. Each year, funds are allocated to organizations that support both women and girls. By providing services and programs that garner a quality education, enhance job skills, or the opportunity to change their lives in other ways, Women United is tackling issues that affect women and girls in Tarrant County.
Women United is seeking programmatic work that is tested, evidence-based, and replicable that is designed to affect communities through specific outcome measures, not just outputs.
