Lowell, MA – The Women Working Wonders (WWW) Fund, a permanently endowed fund of the Greater Lowell Community Foundation, is proud to announce the awarding of $15,000 in mini grants to seven local nonprofit organizations serving women and girls in the Greater Lowell community.
“We are continually inspired by the strength, creativity, and dedication of the organizations serving women and girls in our community,” said Kerrie D’Entremont, Women Working Wonders Fund board president. “These mini grants allow us to respond quickly and meaningfully to programs that are creating real impact across Greater Lowell.”
The Women Working Wonders Fund this year awarded mini grants of up to $3,000 each to support programs in three key areas: assisting women in transition; providing leadership development opportunities for girls and women; and/or contributing to the beautification of environments that benefit women and girls.
