The Erie Women's Fund awarded $64,000 to two local nonprofits Tuesday night. 

The grant funding included giving $40,000 to the Veterans Leadership Program of Western Pa. for their Project Journey program.

An additional $24,000 was donated to the United Way of Erie County for their Focused Vision Project. The goal of the project is to help students with vision care.

Linda Corso, who chairs the grant committee, said being a part of the fund that helps local nonprofits is what Erie is all about.
