About this grant

This grant provides continued general purpose support to the Women’s Hope, Education and Training (WHEAT) Trust. The grantee was established to support grassroots, women-led organizations and encourages a culture of giving among individuals in South Africa. Past support enabled the grantee to improve its institutional capacity and to deliver programs that responded to the evolving realities of the women it supports. The grantee has played an important role in providing networking and leadership development opportunities for women-led community organizations throughout South Africa. Fundraising efforts attracted support from various sectors and created opportunities for sharing and promoting local philanthropy. This grant will support the continuation of these activities.
