Our Grant Process

Our grant process is designed to offer support, foster transparency, and provide you with an opportunity to showcase your organization’s commitment to supporting women and their families in Baltimore City and Baltimore County.

Applicants can request grants, in any amount, up to $25,000 for either unrestricted general operating funds or project funds.

The Grant application portal opens November 1

Applications are due no later than 5:00 p.m. EST on December 15.

Grant Applications are reviewed from mid-December through the end of May. Teams of BWGC volunteer grant readers review the applications we have received and collaborate to select organizations they recommend for funding. During the review process grant readers may request a site visit. The final decision on grant recipients is determined by a vote of the BWGC membership based on the grant reader teams' recommendations.

Grant Notification: Grant applicants receive notification by early June.

Grant Period: Grant funds are available for use beginning July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027.
