"We actually weren't expecting to get the money at all," she said. "We were under the impression that the Trust was for specific events."
The Trust has somewhere between $10,000 and $15,000 left in grant money for its three remaining funding rounds this year, in December, February and April.
The majority of the Trust's grant funds come from a gift of $50,000 made this summer by the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.
The Trust defines its mission as raising awareness of women's issues at Harvard and beyond. In its capacity as a funding source for student groups, it has taken over the funding role of the Radcliffe Union of Students.
But many of the student groups that received funding from the Trust in this round of grant applications also have representatives on the group's Student-Faculty advisory committee.
In fact, the committee is structured so that several campus women's groups have a post on the committee each year.
Of the four slots reserved for groups this year, three of them--Latinas Unidas, WLP and Women in Science at Harvard-Radcliffe--received money from the grants process.
