Self-Sustainability Granting

At the Women’s Fund of East Tennessee, our grantmaking is driven by a commitment to long-term impact. Through our Self-Sustainability Grant, we provide one-time grants to vetted agencies whose programs directly support women and their families in building independent, resilient futures. These grants are designed to address urgent needs or emerging opportunities that align with our mission and values—helping organizations enhance their services and expand their reach.

Since launching this initiative in 2025, we’ve awarded more than $59,000 in funding, positively impacting over 4,270 girls across all 25 counties in our service area. And we’re just getting started.
