'Live Your Dream' Award:

The 'Live Your Dream' (formerly known as the 'Women’s Opportunity Award' program was established in 1972 to assist women with primary financial responsibility for their families to obtain the skills-training and education necessary to improve their employment status and standard of living for themselves and their family. Each year, $1.5 million in club, region and federation funds are awarded to more than 1,500 women in SIA’s 19 member countries and territories. The women receiving these financial awards may use them for any costs associated with their educational efforts, including tuition, books, child care, and transportation.

In addition to the new name for this award, we have a new deadline!  The deadline is NOVEMBER 15th, 2024!  So if you are interested or know someone who is, please have them apply ONLINE at:  https://www.soroptimist.org/our-work/live-your-dream-awards/apply-for-the-live-your-dream-awards.html

Soroptimist International of Cody is a service organization whose mission is “Improving the lives of women and girls through programs leading to
social and economic empowerment”. 
We feel our historic ability to give funds annually to non-profit groups in Park County and the
Big Horn Basin should continue with
whatever limited funds we can share. 
Our members have provided service and funding to our community, and to Soroptimist International
of the Americas projects, for 50 years!

 In order to be considered for funding, please complete the grant application and return it to our attention no later than November 1, 2024 After the deadline, the Grant Committee will meet and consider all of the requests submitted. The final recipients are
decided by the membership of our club,
based on the Committee’s recommendations.

If you have any questions about the application or the process, we will be happy to visit with you.

Please note that we have only one grant cycle per year and the amount of funding we are able to provide may change or be limited as we seek to meet the needs of the many organizations in our community
that address the issues of women and girls.

SI-Cody will be holding a luncheon to present the grants, January 2024. If your organization is awarded a grant, please plan to have a representative at the meeting to accept the grant, and to talk about your program and its services to women and/or girls.

We look forward to hearing from you!
 
Sincerely,
LaDaun Ryan, Grant Committee
