Kristina McKee, M.P.A - Member since February, 2023
Why I joined... “After looking at the Roseville Women for Good, I believe that as a founding member and a POC, I will be able to bring so much relevant conversation to the group. More importantly, I feel there is so much I will be able to learn from the women around me.”
Kelly Sieger - "If service is beneath you, leadership is beyond you"
Why I joined... “I have a passion for the giving circle movement because it allows a group of like-minded people to strategically change the world! Being a founder of a giving circle that has been around for 15 years has been one of the joys of my life, and I love to see that spark in others as they find the joy in the giving circle journey too!”
Joy Webb - Circle of Joy Giving Circle
Why I joined... “It was impressive to raise $2,000. But now I’ve raised over $20,000, from over 100 people, and it’s still growing. That’s something pretty amazing to me.”

Supporting the movement
Grapevine Giving Foundation
The Grapevine Giving Foundation plays a crucial role in facilitating the launch and growth of groups in the Grapevine network. In order to sustain our efforts in creating new groups, we allocate 50% of your first donation to support our nonprofit organization, the Grapevine Giving Foundation.
This approach ensures that our foundation receives crucial funding while fostering the growth and development of new groups within our network.
Your questions answered
Grapevine is a platform that provides our group with an online home that allows us to donate to a shared pool then collaborate to decide which nonprofits to give the money to. They also provide our group with free virtual event planning and hosting support, donation matching funds, and more!
At Grapevine our mission is to help grow the giving circle movement. In order to do that, we’re working to help launch giving circles in new areas and categories where they don’t exist already. That’s why we’re starting Placer County Women for Good. As we develop this group, we’ll identify leaders within the group and help them maintain and grow the group over time.

The time commitment is as little or as much as you’d like. In general though, most members will spend about 5 hours per year participating in the group. This includes nominating and/or just voting on selected nonprofits once per quarter, as well as attending one-hour events each quarter (four per year), some networking events, and other opportunities to connect with other group members. However, there is no requirement to participate in the events. Additionally, we’d love to work with members interested in getting more involved to help lead and grow the group, which would require a few additional hours per quarter or year, depending upon your capacity.
We don’t charge any membership fees, but our payment processor charges a nonprofit discounted credit card fee of 2.2% + 30¢ per donation (3.5% for AmEx). If you’d like, you can leave an optional amount on top of your donation that supports Grapevine’s work.
Anyone who identifies as woman leader is eligible to join. This can be for any business type, industry, position, or level. All are welcome!
We’ll reach out to you about the status of your membership within one week. If your membership is approved, we’ll send you the information for joining the group and adding your donation.
