Women Working Wonders Fund (WWWF) Seeks Request for Proposals


The Women Working Wonders (WWW) Fund seeks request for proposals for 2020. In 2019, WWW awarded a $5,000 grant to Lowell Community Health Center, pictured above, to support their Strong Women, Strong Families Program.

The Women Working Wonders Fund (WWWF), a permanently endowed fund of the Greater Lowell Community Foundation, requests proposals for this year’s grant cycle that opens on May 13. The Women Working Wonders Fund announced earlier this year that funding has been increased to award four grants at $10,000 each to program/projects that impact the lives of women and girls while advancing your organization’s mission.

“Last year, we celebrated our 15th anniversary and significantly increased our endowment. We are thrilled that we can now provide increased grant support to our community this year,” said Bopha Malone, Women Working Wonders Fund board president. “These nonprofits work wonders to improve the lives of girls and women, and we’re honored to increase our grant funding to help them make even more of a difference and create positive change in countless lives.”

WWWF provides annual grants in three key areas: assist women in transition, provide leadership development as well as contribute to the beautification of the environment. Founded in 2004 by a small group of women coming together to form a collective giving organization that focused on women’s issues, the fund has granted more than $200,000 to organizations supporting women and girls in the Greater Lowell area.
