Deadline for application: Wednesday, October 13, 2010 (Extended from August 26)
One-year grant totaling a maximum of $75,000 to support the implementation of the Girls' Health in Girls' Hands project.
At the completion of the one-year grant period, the expectation is that the grantee will have made significant, measurable progress toward having:

- Organized and supported the work of three teams of girl leaders, in three Monterey County communities, who have created and led "health days" for other teen girls (three single community events and one multi-community event).
Grants for Women's Economic Self-Sufficiency
Deadline for application: Friday, August 20, 2010
One-year grant totaling a maximum of $1,500 - $3,000
These funds will supplement existing resources that the grantee is already providing to individual women in Monterey County, rather than to support general operations of the grantee organization. The objective is to enhance the ability of existing organizations to provide financial support to individual women in need. These needs might include car repair, bus passes, occupational training course, books or materials.
If you have any questions, please contact Julie Drezner, Vice President of Community Engagement at 831.375.9712, x112.
