Plano Women for Good
Why I joined... “My wife and I own a small technology firm with a 90%+ nonprofit client base. We moved to Albuquerque in 2023, and want to be more involved with our community and local organizations.”
Melissa Dickinson - Communications director for Logical Alternative, Digital Partner to Nonprofits
Why I joined... “I'm a multifaceted woman whose motivation is to fulfill my purpose in life. I want to make an impact on my community and continue my father's legacy of community service. I would like to join this group to glean from other like-minded people and further develop my aspirations of changing the world for good.”
Jwana Adebiyi - Preserving and expanding my father's legacy
Why I joined... “Doing good for local nonprofits that support women and girls is a natural for me. Prior to being a financial advisor and opening my firm Kennedy Financial (which is of course, a women-owned business), I was a fundraiser for nonprofits on the national (and local) level. While raising money for nonprofits is no longer my day job, it's still in my bones. I have seen time and again how small acts, when pooled together, make a real and lasting difference. It's wonderful to be a part of a group that feels the same.”
Kris Kennedy - Member since April, 2024
Why I joined... “Hello, my beautiful ladies. I am now an official member and I am indeed honored to be a part of this selfless group. I look forward to the next Tea Time:-)”
Debbie Johnson - Public & Mental Health Executive
Why I joined... “My name is Allison Gabaldon and I am the Senior Director of Early Childhood for Albuquerque Public Schools. I am also a skin and hair care consultant with Rodan and Fields. If that wasn’t enough I’m a mom to 5 kids! I’m excited to join all of you in doing good for Albuquerque.”
Allison Gabaldon - Senior Director of Early Childhood
Why I joined... “I love that a group of strong women are making a positive impact in the community. I want to meet other like-minded women interested in philanthropy. It’s important for me to give back and learn about the non-profits serving my community.”

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 Albuquerque Women in Business 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 business leader in Albuquerque 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!

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.
