Eligibility Criteria
Nonprofit organizations with paid staff operating in the region whose primary focus and mission-driven activities serve to benefit women and/or girls either through direct service, advocacy, public policy or capacity building are eligible to apply for funding from the Valentine Fund for Visionary Leadership.
Consistent with Valentine Foundation’s commitment to support organizations whose primary focus is improving the lives of women and girls, applicant organizations must serve at least 70% female (inclusive of all who identify as female) population, OR have a program that serves 100% women and/or girls. If the organization is eligible because it has a program specifically for women and/or girls, then any individual leader/s who benefit from this grant funding must have an active role within or responsibility for said program.
The VFVL seeks to support both current and emerging women leaders and will accept nominations for an individual or a group from the eligible organization. Board members may be included in groups only if the group also includes staff members.
