The Barbara Lee Family Foundation Women in Politics program area has an invitation-only application process and does not accept unsolicited letters of inquiry or proposals. We contact organizations and ask them to apply, rather than accepting unsolicited applications. Please note that an invitation to submit a proposal does not imply or guarantee funding.

Our grantmaking process is intended to efficiently and effectively support projects that are narrowly aligned with our mission and goals to advance women’s equality and representation in American politics. This process also helps to ensure that those invited to apply have the ability to present the most pertinent and useful information in their proposals.
