The Zonta Foundation of Southwest Florida and the Zonta Club of Sanibel-Captiva invite 501(c)3 non-profit organizations dedicated to the empowerment of women and girls to apply for a 2025 grant.
Grants co-chairs Pam Eccles and Diane Chesley note that the Zonta Foundation strives to focus on supporting women to claim their rights as individuals through training, education, and affordable housing. Eccles comments: “Applications must focus on one or more of these aspects of empowering women and girls.” Adds Chesley: “We know that many wonderful organizations are doing amazing work to promote the welfare of women and girls, and Zonta wants to recognize and support this work.”
Previous grant recipients and new non-profit applicants are encouraged to consider requesting funding for ongoing or new projects. Applications require describing in full the project for which they are seeking a grant; please note Zonta is non-sectarian and cannot consider applications from faith-based or religious organizations.
