About the WHF Foundation Grant Program

In August of 2000, the Foundation made its first grants to six local non-profit organizations. The grants helped these local organizations serve women and their families in the areas of housing and finance. They all had exemplary track records at serving their target groups, which included homeless families and low-income women. Every year since then, the Foundation has awarded partnership grants.
