2025 Grant Application is Now Available
Zonta Foundation, Inc.
The Board is soliciting requests from agencies now with a due date of July 31, 2025. The Board will review and make decisions by August/September timeframe. Awards will be given at the Zonta Fashion Show Fundraiser scheduled for November 15, 2025.
The 2025 Application for funding is now available.
This is the charitable arm of the club. All members of the Club are members of Zonta Foundation, Inc. The Foundation of the Zonta Club of Milwaukee, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit, exists to raise and disburse funds. One third of funds raised are used to support Zonta International Service Projects in several parts of the world. Two thirds of funds raised remain in the greater Milwaukee area and have been used to help other 501 (c) 3 non-profit agencies such as women’s shelters and transitional housing. It has also supported programs to mentor young girls and to prevent violence against women. Grants given range from $1,000—$3,000 and can be applied to programs for one to three years. Grantees are asked to provide an annual mid-year review of the program or project being funded. Funding decisions are based on an agency’s non-profit status and its focus on improving the lives of women and girls, especially as it relates to violence prevention and education in the greater Milwaukee area.
Thankful for Giving Tuesday and Florence Eiseman Children’s Clothing!

Congratulations to our 2024 Grant Recipients!
