Each member contributes $1,150 – consisting of a $1,000 donation to our grant funding pool and a $150 contribution to help cover membership operating costs – and the funds are pooled in order to make large, transformational grants of $100,000 to local nonprofits each year in November. Members will determine the grant recipients through a vote of the membership after a rigorous grant review process by volunteer committee members. Membership is valid for one grant cycle year.

Member sponsorship benefits women who would not otherwise afford the $1,150 membership. Through your sponsorship, these women can experience the comradery of the group, the selection process of reviewing proposals, the authority of decision-making, and joy of contributing to the greater good of our grantees in the community. It is meant to help nurture and empower them to be confident contributors and leaders.
