The Boston Women’s Fund is recruiting women to join our Allocations Committee.  The committee reads and discusses grant proposals, conducts site visits, and recommends organizations to the Board for funding.  Board members review the recommendations and finalize the process through a vote.

No prior experience with grantmaking is necessary.  The women who comprise the committee have a diverse range of experiences. We encourage women of all ages, backgrounds, ethnicities, as well as sexual identifications and orientations to apply. We strongly encourage social and economic justice activists, community members, and feminists/womanists to apply.

2012 Allocations Committee Members

The commitment of committee members is to attend an orientation on Sunday, March 8, 2015, read assigned proposals, then attend two subsequent all-day meetings, either on Saturdays, April 11 and May 16, or Sundays, April 12 and  May 17, and attend to visits with grant applicants.

If you or a woman you know is interested in being part of this year’s allocations process, please contact Amy Leung at amy@bostonwomensfund.org or 617.725.0035 Ext 3002.  Allocations committee members help provide the grantee community of women and girl-led organizations the opportunity to create a better world.
