| AAWGT is pleased to announce our 2025 Call for Proposals. Click on the Grants Portal link at left to start the process of submitting a grants proposal. Only non-profits with gross annual revenue less than $1,000,000 (excluding in-kind revenue) are eligible to apply. Please use the revenue number from your most recent 990 if possible. As an organization, AAWGT is committed to supporting work that improves the quality of life for women and families in Anne Arundel County and to partnering with nonprofits who share this vision. Like you, we care about healthy lives and safe places to live — we worry about food deserts — we see the growing need for emergency responses for housing and food, for access to equitable health care, and for safe, secure homes and a healthy environment for all women and families. Like you, we care about education in all its forms, starting with the very youngest — and the importance of literacy and mentoring for people of all ages. Like you, we are concerned about violence of any kind — domestic violence, gun violence, and bullying. And, like you, we care about breaking the cycle of inequity in society, in organizations, and in practice. For several years, AAWGT has worked to imbed the principles of DEIAB (diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility and belonging) and Trust-Based Philanthropy within our organization and our grantmaking process. We are committed to being a positive force for DEIAB through the work we fund. And, while maintaining our all-important focus on improving the quality of lives of women and families in our county, we believe that you, as a nonprofit, bring a firsthand understanding of how best to address this.
