Fast Facts about the Women’s Technical Assistance Fund:
On October 12, 2000 Women’s Care Foundation and Portland Women’s Union Foundation joined to establish Women’s Technical Assistance Fund beginning 2001-2002 with an initial contribution of $2080.
The fund offers two types of grants. Consulting grants require a match by the applying organization. The consulting work may be done by any consultant as long as appropriate references are provided. Networks/Workshop grants do not require a match, but they cover only Nonprofit Association of Oregon Network memberships and workshops. The fund doesn’t cover other open training outside Nonprofit Association of Oregon services.
To determine the amount contributed to Women’s Technical Assistance Fund for fund and fund administration the formula used is 5% of the average for the last 3 years grant total from the two foundations involved.
