Grants from Money for Women give encouragement and recognition to women writers and visual artists whose feminist-centered work is often undervalued by other funding sources. Our recent Award Notes newsletters (2011-present) are posted below, along with lists of previous grantees (1985-2010). Over 700 creative women have received grants since 1985.
