Plano Women for Good
Why I joined... “I want to promote technology and STEM as a career option for women, and I want to ensure that women can grow in their careers in this field.”
Jennifer Lewis - Member since September, 2023
Why I joined... “Love what your group is all about! Our education platform for women entrepreneurs was created to help more women reach $1 million in revenues and our nonprofit arm awards scholarships to women of color entrepreneurs, who face even higher hurdles in growing their businesses (see millionwomen.com and mdwfund.org). I'm excited to be part of a giving circle that is about gender equality in tech.”
Julia Pimsleur - Started the nonprofit MDW Fund in 2017 to help more women of color entrepreneurs access coaching, mentorship and capital
Why I joined... “As a woman that recently joined the world of tech ed and learning, it is mission critical that we get more women involved and curious about technology!”
Theresa Fesinstine - HR Consultant turned AI Geek
Why I joined... “I want to help the younger generation overcome the obstacles that our generation faces and create a more equitable world for them.”
Susan Jenkin Harvey - Managing Director at wrrk
Why I joined... “I am finally getting to a point in my career where I feel I need to start giving back. I have been wondering how to start, then I found grapevine! This is a perfect way to start my philanthropic journey and I couldn't be more excited to join a like-minded group of women to be alongside of through my journey.”
Sara Trichell - Member since August, 2023
Why I joined... “I have been looking for a group like this to participate in for a while. I would like to promote and hire more women in tech, and I would like to surround myself with more women in tech. I would also love to participate in collective giving to uplift others. Very excited to meet other like-minded individuals!”

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 Women in Tech for Gender Equality. 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 tip on your donation that supports Grapevine’s work.
Anyone who identifies as woman leader in tech 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.
Bring about real, lasting change
Be a leader who makes a difference in the world!
Imagine connecting with a community of women tech leaders to give back tens of thousands of dollars to nonprofits in your community each year. It’s a sustained effort that ensures you're doing what you can for your community and the causes you care about most - not just a one-time thing. And you get to do it all by meeting and collaborating with other awesome women across the country.
