Erie Women's Fund & Emerging Erie Fund Grants Information Session

Please join The Nonprofit Partnership and The Erie Community Foundation (ECF) on Tuesday, February 17 from 9–11 AM, in-person or virtually, for an informational session designed to help nonprofits better understand and navigate the grant programs of ECF’s affinity funds: the Erie Women’s Fund (EWF) and the Emerging Erie Fund (EEF).

This session is ideal for nonprofits seeking clarity on upcoming RFPs, eligibility requirements, timelines, and what fund leaders look for in strong, competitive applications. Attendees will hear directly from ECF’s Director of Collective Giving and the grants committee leadership of both funds, gaining practical insights, application tips, and a transparent look at the grant review process.

Join us to build your understanding of these funding opportunities, ask questions, connect with peers, and leave better prepared to submit thoughtful, well-aligned grant applications.
