You might be able to check all of them, unless it's a mens' only thing, in which case you might not be able to check off "Women".

The absence of "Men" on the form should come as no surprise; men have not historically been considered underserved or underrepresented.

Further, the grant is probably not requiring that funds be spent exclusively on those groups but they need to know which groups if any are being served.

PS: I strongly advocated that there be a DU Mens Group before they allowed one to form, while I was a moderator.
