Our Mission
The Women’s Fund of the Stateline Community Foundation supports women and girls through initiatives to address emerging needs or gaps in service not provided by traditional funding sources. The research we conduct informs our focus for grants and advocacy. We rely on partnerships or collaborations with service providers and other institutions.
Application Guidelines

We seek to inspire, empower and support women and girls in the Beloit and Stateline area regardless of income, background or ethnicity.
