* measures empowering women to take leadership roles.

The Fund’s longer term goal is to encourage philanthropy among women, improve the
lives of women through social change grantmaking, and educate the entire community
about the benefits to society when the potential of women is realised. These areas
will be reviewed and perhaps expanded as the Fund grows.

For this grant round up to €5,000 is available for specific projects which are not
part of an organisation’s core work.

The next closing date is 27 January 2012.
