The Iowa Women’s Foundation is now accepting applications for its 2024 Core Grant program. The $150,000 program funds organizations across the state that address one of the barriers to women’s economic self-sufficiency that the Iowa Women’s Foundation has identified, which are child care, housing, employment, education and training, mentorship, and transportation. Each organization will receive up to $25,000. The 2023 grant recipients were Hawkeye Community College Foundation, Iowa City Sober Living, Iowa’s Jobs for America’s Graduates, Girls Inc. of Sioux City, NewBo City Market, and Oakridge Neighborhood Services. Applications are due April 28, and more information can be found on the Iowa Women’s Foundation website. Information sessions and mentors to help navigate the application process are also available.
