[Nfb-fundraising] Grants for Empowering Young Women in the Washington DC Area

[Everett Gavel]

Okay, Last One Today:

My, how broad these guidelines seem, below.  The
Students' organization, at least, could be a prime
candidate for funding for one of their programs, with
this grant opportunity.  Or so it seems to me.

Hope This Helps Someone,
