WOMEN LED, COMMUNITY POWERED

From our board to our judging panels, we partner with thought leaders, trailblazers, and women from the vast RLG network to guide decision making and provide mentorship

Region 1: Judging Panel

A rotating panel of women business + community leaders review and select Red Letter Grant winners on a bi-annual basis. The panel consists of one grant recipient, one carry-over judge and two new judges each year.
