Zonta accepting applications for grants
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.
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.
“Grant applications must focus on one or more of these aspects of empowering women and girls in Lee County,” Grants Committee Co-chair Kathleen Skubikowski said.
“We know that many wonderful organizations are doing amazing work, and Zonta wants to recognize and support that work,” Grants Committee Co-chair Megan Galgano added.
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.
Applications are due by Sept. 14.
The grants will be awarded in January.
