Ojai Women’s Fund awards $85,000 in grants
The Ojai Women’s Fund has announced the award of $85,000 in grants to seven organizations that serve residents of the Ojai Valley. OWF is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization, and these awards were made possible by the collective effort and dedication of this year’s 375 members, who are organized around the giving circle concept. Grants are awarded in five focus areas—Arts, Education, Environment, Health, and Social Services—based on votes by individual and giving circle members. With these awards, the total amount given by OWF members in the past six grant cycles exceeds half a million dollars.
The Ojai Women’s Fund works to inspire and educate all women to become leaders in philanthropy and to help make a difference in the Ojai Valley Community. OWF welcomes new members and encourages organizations that serve the Ojai Valley to consider applying for a grant during the 2022 grant cycle, which begins in May.
