The Women's Fund also faces a challenging reality: although we do our best to provide as much critical funding and support as possible, we still only get to say yes to 40% of the applicants who come to us.
There is incredible need here in our communities:
-
40% increase in domestic violence hotline calls in Berkshire County
-
less than half of Holyoke teens graduate high school
-
29% of single mother families living below the poverty line in Amherst
-
nearly one in five Greenfield children living in poverty
Say "yes" to women-led solutions to these issues and make a gift online by June 30, 2010. Help us fund even more innovative and effective programs in Western Massachusetts.
