Founded in 1975 by writer and social justice activist Barbara Deming, Money for Women is the oldest ongoing feminist granting agency. Grants from the foundation give monetary support and encouragement to feminist writers and visual artists who are women (cis or transgender) or nonbinary. The Fund relies on a volunteer Board of Directors and carefully chosen judges who collaborate in making awards. While other grant sources have come and gone, Money for Women is now in its fifth decade, still feminist and still willing to take risks.
