Leadership Awards
A signature program of The Women’s Foundation, the Leadership Awards recognize local nonprofits demonstrating innovation or measurable success in their service of women and girls. At the heart of this grassroots program is a commitment to rewarding outstanding—but undiscovered—organizations positively impacting women and girls, and engaging the donor community in substantive grantmaking and philanthropic learning.
The award provides funding for capacity building for local organizations impacting the lives of women and girls who:
- 501(c)3 non-profits with a Board of Directors in place, in operation for at least two years and with an annual budget of less than $500,000.
- Primarily serving women and/or girls in the areas of health and/or safety.
- Located in Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia, or in Montgomery or Prince George’s Counties.
