Bottom line
One legitimate federal option. Before investing proposal time: (1) confirm no mandatory co-applicant requirements you can't meet, (2) verify "women" populations don't require narrow age bands, (3) check if mobile delivery model fits their site-based funding assumptions. If clear, this is worth serious pursuit—ACF dollars are rare for nonprofits your size in this mission space.
