January 2019 Amber Grant Finalists

Monday, February 4th, 2019

We’re kicking off the workweek by unveiling our January Amber Grant finalists. To those who are new to our process, typically we make this announcement on the 2nd or 3rd of a month. But January, in particular, forced extremely difficult decisions because of the quality of applications. That’s an excellent reflection on the WomensNet community.

So, congratulations to the following January Amber Grant finalists:
