Womanspace Receives Grant from the NextGen Giving Circle at Princeton Area Community Fund

On June 30th, 2021, Womanspace was awarded a $10,000 grant from the NextGen Giving Circle Fund at Princeton Area Community Foundation. NextGen is comprised of millennial donors, who pool their contributions, and then collectively decide which charities will be awarded grants. The Giving Circle was created in 2017 by Jeremy Perlman, a Risk Advisor at Borden Perlman in Ewing, to help the millennial generation learn about philanthropy and nonprofits in the Central Jersey area.

These funds will support Womanspace’s work in protecting families and providing a safety net of supportive services to prevent abuse. We are very pleased to have backing from generous organizations such as the Princeton Area Community Foundation and the NextGen Giving Circle who support Womanspace’s mission.

Thank you for helping us continue to provide valuable lifesaving programs and services to survivors during this time.

Womanspace Receives Neighborhood Grant from The Starbucks Foundation

On June 24th, Womanspace was awarded a $2,000 Neighborhood Grant from The Starbucks Foundation. The Starbucks Foundation’s Neighborhood Grants program supports grassroots, community-led nonprofit organizations through catalytic investments in the form of small grants. Through this unique program, The Starbucks Foundation invites Starbucks partners (employees) to nominate a local organization in their community. Neighborhood Grants also help build sustained local impact and inspire increased partner engagement with nonprofits organizations that work in our communities.

Womanspace was one of more than 1,300 nonprofits selected to receive a Neighborhood Grant this year. The funds from this grant will go towards continuing our effort to support victims of domestic violence in our region. These funds are intended to address the critical needs of New Jersey’s most vulnerable residents, whose health and livelihood continues to be threatened by the pandemic. We are very pleased to have backing from generous organizations such as The Starbucks Foundation who support Womanspace’s mission.

Thank you for helping us continue to provide valuable lifesaving programs and services to survivors during this time.

Meetings will focus on ways to engage other young adults through social media platforms.

Update: the 26th Annual Barbara Boggs Sigmund Award Event

Dear All,

In these past 10 months, we have learned to adapt and overcome the challenges presented to us. We are so excited about the idea of some return to normalcy, but, for now, there is still so much unknown. As we watch and listen to the expert’s opinions, we know that we all have an significant part to play in the health and wellness of our community.

With this in mind, we are in the process of determining when it will be safe to have our BBS event. We will make a final decision about BBS no later than March 1st.

We are still confident that this wonderful event will happen – it is just a question of when. As stated before, tickets and sponsor sales will carry over to when the event takes place. As we finalize the details for the event, we will reach out and share more information. Please follow our website and social media pages for updates.

Warm regards and please stay safe!
