 Q: Does the nominee need to be female?

A: No. You may nominate anyone (including yourself) who, with financial assistance through the program, will empower a woman or women to achieve her full potential, realize a sense of renewed personal growth, and make a difference in her community.

 Q: I know someone who could use some help, but I am concerned that she does not want others to know.

A: We understand your concerns and want to assure you that only a small group of people will review the nominations.  We will still award money to people who do not want their stories published.

 Q: Can the funds be used to support a non-profit organization that empowers women?

A:  No. The Nation of Neighbors program is designed to give our members the opportunity to make a personal, direct impact on a woman's life.
