Applications are now being accepted for the Front Royal Women’s Resource Center’s (FRWRC) 2021 Dare to Dream grants. 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 $1000 grant.

The Dare to Dream grants are available to women living in Warren County, ages 18 years and older, not currently enrolled in high school. Application deadline is January 15, 2021. Recipients will be announced in March 2021.

Begun in 1999, the Front Royal Women’s Resource Center grant programs have provided 168 grants totaling $123,184.50 to empower women and girls in Warren County. Former grant recipients have not only gone on to finish their educations and start successful businesses, these grants have helped them gain confidence in their goals, strengthen their families and contribute to our community at large.

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.
