mini-Grant Application

Supporting women and girls throughout central minnesota

Application Process

  • Applications must be submitted and/or postmarked from a central Minnesota address.

  • Applications may be submitted online at www.worksinprogress.org or printed and mailed to Works in Progress, Inc., P.O. Box 282, Sauk Rapids, MN 56379.

  • Applicants will receive notification of a decision within 30 days of the grant deadline.

  • Funds awarded will be sent within 20 days of notification of approval.

  • A final impact report listing results of the project is required within 30 days of completion of the project.

Grant Criteria

  • Applications must be complete and should not exceed three pages.

  • Awarded grants are typically utilized to help develop skills, build confidence and to foster a connection
    with community mentors.  Examples include attending a summer language camp, participating in an
    entrepreneurial leadership retreat, purchasing materials and supplies to create a community art project, and attending a certification course.

  • Young women, under the age of 18, must have an adult mentor involved in their project.

  • Grant money will be made payable to the training provider, organization or camp, not to the grantee.

  • Grant selection is based on answers to application questions and on recommendations supplied by applicants.

  • Grants are small, usually $100 to $500.  No repayment is expected, although it is hoped that recipients will "pay forward" their experience by mentoring others as part of their future endeavors.
