The WiLS Ideas to Action Fund helps turn bold ideas into real impact, offering grants of up to $5,000 for projects that support innovation, collaboration, and shared learning across member organizations. Now is the perfect time to start planning your proposal! The application period is open from April 6th through June 5th. The proposal form and reporting are simple and lightweight so applicants can focus on the success of the work and the benefits to their community.

If you have questions about the Ideas to Action Fund, we invite you to register to attend a live Q&A session on Thursday, April 23rd, at 1:00 pm CT. Hosted by WiLS Ideas to Action Fund coordinators, Kim Kiesewetter and Sara Gold, you will learn more about the qualities of a strong proposal and have the opportunity to ask general and specific questions about the application process.

You must be a WiLS member to apply, but the good news is that membership is free and comes with lots of perks and no strings. It’s time to make your dreams a reality with the WiLS Ideas to Action Fund!
