[Nfb-fundraising] Women's Foundation of Minnesota, Social Change Fund

[Everett Gavel]

Hello,

This grant opportunity has within it a chance for
funding programs geared towards empowerment and
equality for women, in Minnesota.  Use your
imagination, and see what you could come up with for
utilizing this grant opp?  At it's simplest, I see it
making information and materials accessible,
specifically for women's efforts and training.  Like
women's health, women in government and leadership
roles, etc.  But who knows, it might even be able to be
written so that it would fund a women's sports team,
and help provide better leadership materials and
training, through such a team effort?

To Your Success!
