What Does GW Membership Offer?
GIVING WoMN offers educational, social and networking events each year including an annual meeting where current grant recipients are introduced to our members. Members are welcome to be as active as they wish – whether that means quietly enjoying the annual meeting, serving on a GIVING WoMN committee, or simply paying the annual contribution and voting for the grant recipients. We welcome whatever participation you desire.
Members are eligible to participate in the grants process, vote on all issues presented to the membership, attend GIVING WoMN events, and serve on the Board of Directors and other teams.
GIVING WoMN members make a membership commitment to GIVING WoMN. The majority of this contribution is dedicated to our yearly grants and the remaining portion goes to support the administrative costs of GIVING WoMN. Each year, our contributions are due by November 30th. To be eligible to vote for the next round of grant recipients, contributions must be paid by year end.
