Women of Color Give is giving away a total of $74,000. Every year our investors nominate organizations they believe in. The top 3 nonprofits then do a pitch night where they share how those funds will elevate and transform communities. This years finalists are Became Brave, Holland Public Schools Educational Foundation and Lighthouse Immigrant Advocates. And the giving theme is "Investing in Women of Color as Leaders, Innovators, and Changemakers."
These finalists will compete for the following grant awards:
1st Place – $37,000 | 2nd Place – $22,000 | 3rd Place – $15,000
