One of the three founding and present purposes of The Woman’s Club of Winter Park, Inc,               a 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded in 1915, is “To associate members and the public in charitable and educational efforts for the citizens of Winter Park and surrounding areas.” Our charitable giving funds come from fundraising events and individual donations. They are distributed in the Spring, usually in April. The deadline for application is March 1st. Eligibility is extended to actively operating 501(c)(3) organizations in Orange and Seminole counties. In recent years, funding has been from $100-3000 for an individual application, depending upon the need and our resources.

We have two methods to apply, our online application system, or you can download the application and mail it to our club.
