Women for Good | Valley of the Sun

Women for Good | Valley of the Sun focuses its support on 501(c)3 charities based in the Phoenix Metro area. We are especially interested in grassroots non-profits that are making a big impact with limited resources and often do not qualify for grants from larger agencies and foundations.

Active members are eligible and encouraged to nominate non-profits that meet the following requirements:

• Organizational mission: Focused on women, children, and/or families living in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
• Longevity: In existence for a minimum of two years.
• Budget: Has an annual operating budget not to exceed $1.5 million.
• Status: Registered as a 501(c)3 entity in the state of Arizona.

Other Considerations

• Grant recipients are selected by a vote of active Women for Good members.
• The second place nominee will automatically be included in the next voting cycle.
• Nominations are limited to a total of three non-profits per quarterly grant cycle.
• Following a three-year waiting period, prior grant recipients may be nominated a second time.

Prom season is almost here — and that means it’s time for sparkle, style, and showing up for our community 💃✨

For many teens, prom is a once-in-a-lifetime night. But the cost of dresses, tuxedos, and accessories can put that special experience out of reach. That’s where The Prom Closet steps in — making sure every student has the chance to feel confident, celebrated, and absolutely amazing on prom night, no matter their financial circumstances.

And we need YOU to help make the magic happen!

Ways You Can Help

There’s a role for everyone, including:

• • Welcoming and registering students with a friendly smile
  • Helping shoppers find the perfect gown or tux
  • Steaming dresses and organizing racks
  • Assisting with shoes and accessories (bling encouraged!)
  • Supporting checkout and keeping the event flowing smoothly
  • Providing light alterations — especially hemming pants or quick fixes (calling all seamstresses!)

We’ll have restrooms, snacks, and water available to keep you comfortable and energized during your shift.

And Because We Love a Good After-Party…

Once our volunteer shift wraps, we’ll keep the good vibes going with a casual social hour at a nearby bar or restaurant — a chance to relax, connect, and celebrate the impact we made together.

Last year we went full-on Rainbow Unicorns 🦄🌈, and this year? The sky’s the limit! Dress up, decorate, hand out stickers, blow bubbles, wave signs, crank up the tunes — whatever it takes to cheer on the amazing girls and their running buddies as they complete their celebratory 5k.

Mark your calendars now, and get ready to let your creativity shine! ✨ Got a fun theme idea? Drop it in the comments — we might just bring your vision to life!

And for the "Social" Aspect …
