Avon Announces Second Year of Grant Program to Empower 
Women

Deadline: Quarterly

The Avon Hello Tomorrow Fund is an initiative of Avon 
Products,
 Inc. ( http://www.avoncompany.com/ ) designed to 
empower women
 and improve society by providing individuals with cash 
awards
 that will enable them to pursue a project to better 
the lives
 of women (of all ages) in the United States.

Initially launched in March 2007 as a one-year 
initiative in
 celebration of International Women's Day, the Hello 
Tomorrow
 Fund has been extended for a second year. The fund 
will con-
 tinue to award $5,000 each week, through April 2009. 
Winners
 are deserving individuals who have submitted a 
compelling
 application to launch or expand a program or project 
to empower
 women in their communities and beyond.

The award is for an individual, not an organization or 
company.
 Women and men are eligible to win as long as the 
program or
 project benefits women of all ages in the U.S. 
Applicants must
 be 18 years of age or older and a legal permanent 
resident of
 the U.S. or a U.S. citizen to apply.

Application submission and selection of winners is 
organized
 in a quarterly cycle. Upcoming deadlines are June 2, 
2008;
 September 1, 2008; and December 1, 2008. One winner 
will be
 publicly announced every Tuesday through the Hello 
Tomorrow
