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.

The Women’s Fund of East Tennessee (WFET) is now accepting Self Sustainability grant requests from September 15 – October 25, 2025. Applications will be reviewed in November 2025 by WFET committee members, staff, and subsequently approved by the board of directors. Grant notifications will be made in December 2025.

If you have any questions about our grant process, please email grants@wfet.org.
