WORTH KNOWING
The fund was established by the Klompus Family Foundation in 2009 with an explicit mission to empower women and girls to 'lead positive, fulfilling lives' — applications that clearly articulate empowerment outcomes in Education, Economic Stability, or Health and Wellness are most aligned with the funder's stated intent.
