#GrantNews The Ripley Memorial Foundation, a donor advised fund at WFM, awarded 4 renewal grants totaling $80,000. Renewing funding to current grantees supports additional capacity in response to changes in federal funding, which have created ambiguity and uncertainty for organizations. Funding supports women's health education, pregnancy prevention, and services built on cultural and community strengths. Congratulations to Centro Tyrone Guzman, Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota, @mawawomen, and @OurJusticeRJ!
