Advancing the Interests of Women and the Arts | in Virginia and Beyond |
Our first quarter has come and gone. What a first three
months it has been. We raised over $5k
for the Children’s Museum Blacksburg and have acquired a few more committed
members. We are working with the museum
to ensure that all donors receive their tax receipt and are excited to learn
what they have done/plan to do with the funds.
If you haven’t seen the news - we have secured a matching grant
sponsor. We are so very excited to have been discovered from our article in the
Roanoke Times by The Secular Society. After several meetings they have agreed to
match our donations for the next THREE YEARS at $.50/$1.00 up to $5,000 per
quarter. So, if we reach our goal of 100
women making a donation each quarter, we will then be giving away $15,000 each
and every quarter. How awesome is that?
