PHASE II: Selection of Five Semi-Finalists - Site Visits & Interviews

The objective of the site visit and / or interview is to complete a general due-diligence review and to investigate and resolve any questions.
-
Site visits require approximately 60 minutes of dedicated time, and we require the participation of the director, program manager, or other qualified individual to represent the organization.
​
PHASE III: Selection of Three Grant Finalists
-
The selected three finalists will be notified and asked to send a representative to share a short presentation (no more than 7 minutes) at our 100 Women Strong OHIO giving circle event.
-
Members will then vote on the finalists, with each 100 Women Strong OHIO member casting one vote and the majority deciding on the large grant recipient.
Please Consider:
Grants provided by 100 Women Strong OHIO are non-renewable. However, an organization may submit a new application after two calendar years for additional funding.
​
*Voting by members takes place by secret ballot. Simple majority determines the charity that receives the large grant.
Recent large grant recipients have been awarded between $25,000 - $35,000. The two remaining organizations are each gifted smaller grants of the same value.
