Core Grant-making at WFGM focuses on five areas: career development, job readiness, economic and financial literacy, nontraditional job training and entrepreneurship.
WFGM seeks to establish a stronger and long term sustainability of supportive services for women and children in the Memphis community through grantee agencies that provide career training and employment opportunities with a focus on wealth creation such as home ownership, good paying jobs with benefits, financial management, business ownership and investments. The goals of the core-grant making are to leverage WFGM’s expertise and funding.
The project funds an average of 30-35 programs, benefiting approximately 11,650 women and children annually. In 2008 $623,000 was awarded to 32 programs costing $44.98 per person served. All projects are located in Memphis and Shelby County.
11,650 women and children will be assisted with finding resources needed to become economically self-sufficient.
"The Women's Foundation has been a recognized leader in providing opportunities for women and children in the community since 1995."
