The Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley’s Fund for Women and Girls recognized five local women for their contributions to the community.

According to the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation, Mahoning County commissioners awarded a $50,000 grant to YNDC. The award was approved Oct. 12 by the commissioner’s office for the pre-development costs of affordable housing in Youngstown.

The Fund for Women & Girls, a community-led fund at the Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley, put the spotlight on the work of five women at its Gems of the Valley event. The honor recognizes women doing important work to make the Valley a better place for all, especially when that work is overlooked or underappreciated.

We all know amazing women throughout the Mahoning Valley who have left an impact through their line of work. One local group is making sure outstanding women don't go unnoticed for their efforts in making the Valley a better place.
