Dare to Dream Micro Grants for Girls
Reach.
The Ann Bancroft Foundation and its generous donors and mentors help underserved girls take the first steps toward fresh possibilities.
An ABF micro-grant—up to $500—funds small experiences for girls. Through the funded experience, and with a mentor’s guidance, girls gain a new perspective on their own abilities and goals.
Explore.
ABF micro-grant recipients have had a wide variety of adventures. Our donors and mentors have helped girls tour with a choir, attend space camp, learn a foreign language, play sports, and take classes.
As they explore the outside world, recipients also explore themselves, beginning to recognize their own abilities, values, and strengths.
Discover.
No matter what interest a girl pursues through an ABF micro-grant, program mentors nudge her to use the experience as a springboard to the next exploration—and the next, and the next.
Girls discover new self-confidence and self-knowledge as they open their eyes to the broader world—and to new possibilities within themselves.
