The American Women’s Hospitals Service provides funding in support of programs that provide care, advancement and empowerment of women and children in underserved areas. We are devoted to fostering sustainable and innovative programs that will inspire individuals and make a difference for communities in need. Funds will be distributed on a yearly basis and typically grants are awarded between $2000 and $3500/yearly. Consideration will be given to proposals focusing on:
- Sustainability
- Community involvement
- Community impact
- How the use of funds will aid local women’s healthcare, advancement or empowerment
- Strength of proposed or existing educational partnership with AWHS
- Interest/potential in mentorship of students
Funds must be targeted for a specific need, not general support. Funds that help support a woman health worker's salary or specific programs that target women are especially encouraged.
