The Chester County Fund for Women and Girls is now accepting nominations for its 2020 Kitchen Table Award.

Established in 2011 to honor a Chester County woman who represents the mission and values of the organization, the Kitchen Table Award is presented at CCFWG’s Annual Making a Difference Luncheon. The recipient is an “outstanding Chester County woman who has made substantive contributions through service and/or philanthropy to improve the lives of women and girls through her own time, talent, or resources.”

The award is named in celebration of the genesis of CCFWG: the many conversations held around kitchen, board, and coffee tables that led to the formation of the organization in 1996. Nominations are open to the public.

This year, the 15th Annual Luncheon will be held on Friday, May 1 at the Desmond in Malvern. Funds raised will support CCFWG’s philanthropic, educational, and advocacy programs that ensure women and girls have resources and opportunities to thrive.

All nominations must be received by Friday, Jan. 10. Click here to learn more about the award and access the nomination form. For questions, contact CCFWG Executive Director Michelle Legaspi Sánchez at michelle@ccfwg.org or 484-356-0940.

CCFWG also announced that the application for its Core Grants Program is now available on its website. The deadline to apply is Jan. 21 at 5 PM. Nonprofits that are making an impact in the lives of Chester County’s women and girls are encouraged to learn more about CCFWG’s funding priorities and guidelines.

Beginning in 2020, all core grants awarded will be two-year grants. The funding grant period is a 24-month period where funding for Year Two is dispersed after CCFWG determines that the grantee continues to satisfy the grant requirements and funds remain available.
