Applications are still being accepted for the Front Royal Women’s Resource Center’s (FRWRC) 2022 Dare to Dream grants. The application deadline is January 14, 2022. Recipients will be announced in March 2022. Each year, FRWRC awards individual grants to Warren County women to help make their dreams come true. Past recipients have used their grants to start and build businesses, purchase business equipment, support certification and continuing education goals, etc. Applicants can request up to a $1,000 grant. One $1,500 Elaine Bromfield Memorial Scholarship for education is also awarded each year through this program.

The Dare to Dream grants are available to women living and/or working in Warren County, ages 18 years and older, not currently enrolled in high school.

Begun in 1999, the Front Royal Women’s Resource Center grant programs have provided 182 grants totaling more than $132,000 to empower women and girls in Warren County. Former grant recipients have not only gone to finish their educations and start successful businesses, but these grants have also helped them gain confidence in their goals, strengthen their families and contribute to our entire community.

If you have a dream or know a Warren County woman in your life who has a dream and needs financial support to make it happen, this is your opportunity.

Applications are available on November 1, 2021, at Samuels Public Library, or download the application form at www.FRWRC.org or by calling or emailing the FRWRC office at 540-636-7007, wrc@frwrc.org.
