AWIU is proud to announce launch of the International Women of Courage (IWOC) Alumnae Impact Grant, offered by American Women for International Understanding (AWIU). This program is exclusively reserved for previous recipients of the IWOC Award, recognizing and supporting their continued efforts in advancing human rights and supporting women globally.
AWIU’s IWOC Alumnae Impact Grant aims to provide financial assistance to sustain and expand the impactful programs and initiatives of IWOC Alumnae.
The application will open on February 1st and close on March 31st at midnight EST.

Grant Details:
- Grant Amount: Up to $5,000 per grantee
- Number of Grantees: A minimum of five grantees will be awarded in this inaugural year
- Application Launch: The application will be available online starting February 1, 2025.
- Application Deadline: Prospective grantees must submit the online application form in English by March 31, 2025, and commit to the reporting process. We understand that for many, English is not a first language, so the committee will not evaluate applications based on the quality of the written English but may follow up with questions to make sure there is an accurate understanding of the application during the review and selection process.

AWIU will host optional webinars to assist IWOC Alumnae in the application process. Please check back for dates. We are excited about the impact of this grant program and look forward to supporting the continued efforts of IWOC Alumnae in making a difference.
AWIU thanks every International Woman of Courage for her unwavering commitment to advancing human rights and supporting women globally.
