| We are excited to invite you to a workshop for a new grant opportunity: The 19th Amendment Centennial Letter of Inquiry, in support of the 100th anniversary of securing women’s right to vote. This is a joint initiative between local funders seeking to partner with organizations to create a yearlong series of commemorative events. Please join us on June 14, 2019 from 2:00 – 3:30pm at Communities Foundation of Texas to learn more about how we plan to support the recognition of this milestone.
During the workshop, we will provide more information about this special opportunity as well as answer any questions you may have about the funding criteria. Please note, the application process will be similar to our current 2019 Letter of Inquiry. Additional background and instructions for submission can also be found within the application itself.
Please click here to register for the workshop. As a reminder, attendance is optional. For those who are unable to attend, the workshop will be recorded and available via livestream on FacebookLive or can be viewed later.
