The Erie Women’s Fund’s Bridge Builders Grant is a new pilot funding opportunity created to expand access to EWF funding for organizations serving women and families in Erie County.
This flexible grant offers up to $5,000 to support an organization’s work. Applicants are not required to apply for the full award.
Funding for this opportunity was made possible through the Women Driving Philanthropy Golf Outing and the generosity of its sponsors, golfers, and supporters.
Applications are open October 1 through October 30, 2026. Funding decisions will be shared by November 23.
Because Bridge Builders is a pilot grant opportunity, its continuation in future years has not yet been determined.
