Summary

The Women and Girls Mission Fund Grant, offered by American Baptist Women’s Ministries, supports projects that empower women and girls globally. With grants ranging from $1,000 to $3,500, applicants can seek funding for initiatives that promote education, health, and economic sustainability. Preference is given to IRS 501(c)(3) organizations with budgets under $300,000. This funding aims to combat the oppression and injustices faced by women and girls, fostering their development and full potential.

Overview

Many girls and women worldwide are prevented from developing and experiencing their full potential individuals created by God. There are girls that do not receive the support of their families or cultures to go to school; women and girls who do not have access to medical care or the job market or other basic human rights. Misogynistic attitudes support culturally-sanctioned practices that oppress women and girls. Domestic violence endangers women and girls. The exploitation of women and girls fuels the criminal industry of sex trafficking. American Baptist Women’s Ministries, a not-for-profit organization affiliated with the American Baptist Churches in the U.S.A., has a commitment to encourage and empower women and girls to serve God, and desires that each woman and girl have opportunity to live into the fullness of God’s purpose for her. Through Christ-centered ministries of discipleship, leadership development, educational opportunities, economic sustainability, and by addressing injustices that oppress women and girls, the Women and Girls Mission Fund helps women and girls discover God’s full potential for their lives. American Baptist Women’s Ministries (“ABWM”) has limited funding available from its Women and Girls Mission Fund to expand its work through grants to entities that are addressing the oppression of women and girls worldwide.
