Emerging and established border organizations that help girls and women who are victims of violence, have lost their jobs or are just getting started in life are among the nonprofit groups that got grants from the Frontera Focused Women's Fund in El Paso.
The fund granted a total of $40,000 for its first funding cycle, with half the money raised by the foundation remaining in El Paso.
'We are dedicated to increasing resources, expanding opportunities and promoting positive social change for women and girls from Las Cruces to Brownsville within 67 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border,' Chris Worley, the foundation's executive director, said. 'The priority for this funding cycle was the prevention of violence against girls and women.'"
