Past Grants

2009 was our third year for the Women's Fund of Vanderburgh County and more women than ever before participated. There were 240 members of the fund in 2009, and they contributed $106,000! At the annual meeting, by vote of the membership, the $50,000 grant was awarded to Patchwork Central. We hope everyone will support all four of the finalists, as they are all doing amazing work in our community:
