Bath Women's Fund 2026 Grant

Bath Women's Fund members pool their monthly donations and, once a year, give their gathered funds to local groups as a grant. The 2026 grant making theme focuses on meeting the needs of families who are most impacted by the increased cost of living. This includes organisations providing food, warmth, benefits advice, and preventing homelessness. The fund invites applications from charitable organisations working in Bath & North East Somerset. Members are involved in the grant making process including selecting the theme, reviewing applications, learning about the organisations applying, providing mentoring support to applicants, and voting on who receives the main grant. Like other giving circles, part of the fund's role is to encourage women to get involved with philanthropy.
