Eleanor Foundation Grants: 2002 - 2011
The Eleanor Foundation is a public grantmaker, providing financial support to programs that help our target population and collaborating with those programs to ensure their success.
Today, our Eleanor Network comprises hub partners—nonprofit organizations where working female heads-of-households can receive career education, and have access to affordable housing, dependable childcare, and financial coaching at a single point-of-access. In addition to these hubs, we support resource partners that focus on employer-driven skills training opportunities.
Detail on the recipients of our grants is below. (To sort the table by category, click on the appropriate column head.)
