The Zonta Foundation of Southwest Florida and Zonta Club of Sanibel-Captiva are taking applications from nonprofit organizations dedicated to the empowerment of women and girls for its 2027 grants.<\/p>\n
The club reported that the foundation strives to focus on supporting women to claim their rights as individuals through training, education, and access to healthcare and affordable housing.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrant applications must focus on one or more of these aspects of empowering women and girls in Lee County,\u201d Grants Committee Co-chair Kathleen Skubikowski said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know that many wonderful organizations are doing amazing work, and Zonta wants to recognize and support that work,\u201d Grants Committee Co-chair Megan Galgano added.<\/p>\n
Previous recipients and new applicants are encouraged to request funding for ongoing or new projects. Zonta is non-sectarian and cannot consider applications from faith-based or religious organizations.<\/p>\n
Applications are due by Sept. 14.<\/p>\n
The grants will be awarded in January.<\/p>\n
