Women’s Fund of The Shelby Foundation Offers Grant Cycle

In 2018, the Women’s Fund of The Shelby Foundation launched the “100 Women for Shelby” initiative. The goal was to bring 100 caring, giving women together who share a mutual goal of enriching our community. The moral support of the community, coupled with the financial generosity of its citizens, will provide endless possibilities for the women in the greater Shelby area.

For the second year in a row, a percentage of the proceeds accumulated from the “100 Women for Shelby” annual membership drive will be distributed to fund programs in and around Shelby to promote intellectual, physical, emotional, social, economic and cultural growth for women.
