Overview

The Advocacy Grant scales impact through policy and systems change. It is a multi-year, unrestricted grant of $50,000 per year for three years. One advocacy grantee is selected each year by a committee of Washington Women's Foundation members.

Organizations must be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) or 7871, or fiscally sponsored by a tax-exempt organization. They may advocate at the local, state or federal level, but the systems change sought must benefit Washington residents, and the organization must operate from within Washington.

How to Apply

Apply through the JustFund common application and answer the three additional questions added by the Foundation. The deadline is the second Wednesday in August each year. The application opens six weeks before the deadline, and awards are announced around the first Wednesday in November. The 2026 round is closed.
