Description
The Girls With Goals Competitive Donor-Advised Fund supports nonprofit organizations working to empower girls in kindergarten through eighth grade across Iowa. Administered by the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation, it accepts requests for program support, capital support, and sponsorships that align with this population and purpose.
The fund’s donor advisors determine funding priorities, exclusions, award decisions, and the timing of support. Girls With Goals operates separately from the Foundation’s Program Support and Organization Support grant programs, and applications are not subject to those programs’ application limits. Each request category has its own application questions.
