GFWC North Pinellas Woman's Club Grants & Scholarships
GFWC North Pinellas Woman’s Club is dedicated to supporting dynamic, impactful organizations that strengthen our communities and enrich lives. Each year, we proudly award grants to local 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations for community improvement initiatives, along with scholarships for deserving organizations.
These grants and scholarships are funded by our major fundraiser, Christmas Under the Oaks and generous private donors.
We are thrilled to announce that in 2026, GFWC North Pinellas Woman’s Club awarded a total of $28,000 in Community Grants, Member Grants, and Scholarships.
Our 2026 grant cycle is closed and all grant money has been dispersed. Check back to apply for our next round of grants in 2027.
