2027 Women’s Professional Forum Foundation (WPFF) Community Grants

The Women’s Professional Forum Foundation of Greensboro, North Carolina, has opened its 2027 competitive grants cycle for nonprofits empowering women and girls in Guilford County. Applications opened November 2, 2026 and are due January 31, 2027. The published program page does not specify a submission cutoff hour or time zone.

Applicant funding

No binding individual award minimum or maximum is published for the 2027 cycle. The foundation says that recent grants have ranged from $3,500 to $10,000, but that historical range is not a guaranteed 2027 grant amount or formal award ceiling. The current total funding pool, mandatory matching requirements and reimbursement conditions are not stated on the public program page.

Eligible applicants

Eligible organizations must be 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(1) tax-exempt nonprofits, or apply with an eligible fiscal sponsor; operate in or serve Guilford County, North Carolina; and explain how their program or organization empowers women and/or girls. Individuals are ineligible. Organizations funded for three consecutive years must take a one-year break before applying again.

Funded activities and restrictions

The foundation considers general operating support and program-specific support for career exploration, workforce advancement, education, leadership development and programs recognizing women’s achievements. It expressly says it is not currently funding programs primarily focused on women’s health, mother-and-baby initiatives, child development, parenting support or self-esteem growth. Applicants should compare the specific project against these restrictions rather than assume that every program serving women or girls qualifies.

Applying and reporting

Review the official 2027 application question preview and submit the online application linked from the funder’s grants page by January 31. Email and paper applications are not accepted. Awards are normally announced in spring, with disbursement around July 1; funded organizations should plan to use their grants within 12 months and submit progress reports in December and June as required by the foundation.
