Women’s Giving Alliance kicks Off 20th-anniversary celebration
CLAY COUNTY – The Women’s Giving Alliance, an initiative of The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida, today kicked off its 20th Anniversary celebration at its annual Member Forum with the announcement of $587,500 in grants to 10 Northeast Florida nonprofits.
“Harnessing the power of collective giving, the Women’s Giving Alliance has awarded more than $7.6 million in grants to 68 non-profit community partners since its founding to improve the lives of women and girls in Northeast Florida,” said Jan Healy, president of WGA and Founder and President of Renewing Dignity. “We are a dynamic and diverse group of more than 400 women committed to our mission, which includes grantmaking to improve the lives of the most marginalized women and girls in our community.”
Two organizations in Clay County shared in the benefits, including:
• Generation USA: Information Technology and Administrative Medical Assistant Programs. Generation USA is a boot camp-style training program that focuses on the technical and soft skills employers say are most needed in the workforce. Generation USA partners with local employers to provide full-time jobs or paid internships upon successful completion of the training. The $75,000 grant will provide a stipend to 70 women in training and 24 in internships so they can afford to participate full-time in the IT and Administrative Medical Assistant programs.
• Generation W: Generation WOW. The Generation WOW program provides girls in middle and high school with mentorship, guidance, and specific tools to better navigate post-secondary education and potential careers. Th$75,000 grant will allow 75 girls to participate in Generation WOW clubs designed specifically for girls who are at or near the poverty level, including those in rural areas, by providing tablets and accessibility resources so they may participate in remote learning activities.
