Giving More to Our Community Just Got Easier!

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?

The Secular Society is advancing the interests of women and the arts in Virginia and beyond.  They are a not-for-profit Virginia Corporation organized in 2013 and recognized as such by the United States Internal Revenue Service.  Currently they are supporting:
