Chester County Fund for Women and Girls

The CCFWG is now accepting applications for the 15th class of its award-winning Girls Advisory Board (GAB) program. Applications are available here and will be accepted until Friday, May 25.

The CCFWG is looking for applicants from high school girls living in Chester County who will enter their sophomore or junior year in the fall. If selected, the program is free to all participants – accepted girls are also able to participate in GAB for up to two years.

One of only a few programs of its kind in the country, GAB offers a unique opportunity for local high school girls looking to get involved in their communities and learn about the grantmaking process. Each GAB class awards $20,000 in grants to local nonprofits of their choice to better the lives of women and girls in Chester County.
