The mission of the Women's Fund of the Community Foundation of
Central Illinois is to shape the future of women through their talents,
resources, and leadership. The Women's Fund supports programs that
promote empowerment advancement, and full participation of women and
girls in society. The Women's Fund will also consider grants that affect
families by benefiting a female head of household.

It is necessary for grant proposals to be postmarked no later than

We anticipate that grant requests will exceed the amount available
for granting this year. A denial should not be seen as a negative
reflection on your work, but a reflection of the funding dollars
available. You will be notified in writing the status of your grant. We
anticipate the final decision will be made and grant recipients will be
announced in mid-April. If you have any questions, please contact Pam
Rumba, Program Administrator at the Community Foundation of Central
