If you have a grand idea for a project that may be ‘outside the box’, don’t hesitate to submit an application. VWT welcomes creative and innovative ideas!
Every Sub-Fund honours women in some way. Some are named after a woman or a couple, others are established in their memory, or have a giving focus that honours a woman’s life, passions and contributions. All of them invest in creating a better world for women and girls.
