Women United Funding

Since 2015, Women United has invested over $83,000 in impactful programs across Simcoe Muskoka, prioritizing support and skills to empower girls and women out of cycles of poverty. They aid in job retention, professional growth, and financial autonomy, while providing essential life skills and strategies.

Women United invites organizations serving women and children in Simcoe County, The Town of Blue Mountains, or the District of Muskoka to apply for the Women United 2025 Grants.

The Women United 2025 Grants are part of our commitment to mobilize collective action in our communities through initiatives that help women and children reach their full potential in areas of literacy, mental health and nutrition.

25% of lone-parent families in Simcoe Muskoka are living in Low-Income with the majority being led by women

In anticipation that funding requests are greater than the funding budget, we are asking applicants to reflect on taking only what is needed and ensuring resources are left for others.
