Global Initiative Grants

The global vision of Soroptimist International is for women and girls worldwide to have the resources and opportunities to reach their full potential and live their dreams.  Due to the challenges presented by COVID these past few years, our fundraising has been constrained. As a result there are limited funds available and  we are unable to offer Global Grants in 2023.

Background: Throughout our club’s history it has distributed funds to organizations that serve the needs of women and girls in Saratoga County. In 2012 the club expanded its grant-giving program to improve the lives of women and girls beyond Saratoga County so they too have the resources and opportunities to achieve their full potential and live their dreams. This is accomplished by supporting programs that lead to their social and economic empowerment.

In 2022, SISC awarded grants to the following organizations for projects that align with SISC’s mission to assist women and girls internationally: Bilingual Education for Central America (BECA), Books for Africa, Cinterandes Foundation, Drilling for Hope, Loisaba Community Trust, Loisaba Community Conservation Foundation, Inc., To Love a Child, Inc., and the MoonCatcher Project,

We hope to be able to offer the Global Grants in the future. Stay tuned!
