About OWF Grants

Ojai Women’s Fund makes all awards through its annual grant process. Every year, nonprofit organizations that provide services to the Ojai Valley may apply for an OWF grant. Ojai Women’s Fund selects nonprofit programs that meet critical needs, spur new projects, or foster innovation. Grants for 2026 will range from $10,000 to $20,000. 

The Grants Committee researches and reviews all grant application materials and conducts selected site visits. Ojai Women’s Fund members are then given a selection ballot listing the top candidates. Final grantees are chosen from the ballot by the full membership.

Grant Application Resources

All 501(c)(3) organizations, or organizations that have a fiscal sponsor, are eligible to apply. 501(c)(3) status must have been held for at least one year prior to submitting an application.

We will hold a Grant Training session for nonprofits on April 13, 2026. Please register below!
