for their generous support and the additional funding for our 2005 Grant Recipients.
On Thursday night, July 14, 2005, over $100,000 was awarded by the eWomenNetwork Foundation to 16 non-profit organizations. These 501(c)(3) organizations all operate in local areas where eWomenNetwork chapters exist throughout the US and Canada. Each received a cash grant, a matching technology grant from Microsoft, and a $500 gift certificate from Office Depot.
