The application period for small grants was June 1-30, 2026, and eligible agencies applied via the Women’s Fund website or the NPRN website. Grantees were announced November 9. Between July 1 and November 9, the Small Grants Committee reviewed the applications, validated agency eligibility, and developed a ballot and ballot information packet. Ballot information packets were sent to members in mid-September, and members voted October 1-10. We did not host a Ballot Review Meeting event and there was no group voting. All 2025 contributing members received an emailed information packet and worksheet to aid their selection, and members voted individually.
