The Kinexion Network Women's Empowerment Grant

We are excited to announce the Kinexion Network Women's Empowerment Grant—a unique opportunity designed to support and uplift women and girls of all abilities across our affiliate agencies. This grant is open to both program participants and staff, encouraging them to pursue their dreams and aspirations in education, travel and extracurricular activities. Whether you want to further your studies, explore new experiences, or develop your talents, this grant is here to help make it possible.

Funds for this initiative are raised through the Annual Women's Empowerment Fashion Fling, hosted by Kinexion, an event dedicated to recognizing and supporting the limitless potential of women of all abilities. We encourage all eligible women and girls within the Kinexion Network to apply and take the next step toward achieving their personal and professional goals.
