Plano Women for Good
Why I joined... “I think that our movements against white supremacy are dangerously underfunded. I want to meet other people interested in funding such movements and see how we can support aligned movement organizations getting to the scale this moment needs them to be at.”
Aaron Goggans - Organizer, Writer, Facilitator, World Builder Formerly with BLM DC now with WildSeed Society
Why I joined... “I believe that engaging in community is critical to my individual development and effectively achieving systemic change. Being in community is an intentional decision I am making. I recognize that with community comes diversity in all of its forms. I am here for it. Sometimes things are hard in community and harm is caused - I am here for the healing. I want to give and be intentional in my giving. I want to know that whatever I am able to give is being sown in good ground. I believe in what grapevine is facilitating and that's why I have joined.”
Karine (KJ) Williams - Helping Humans Change the Space they Occupy
Why I joined... “I enjoy using my sphere of influence to help promote change. Together, we can move mountains when it comes to true social impact and change.”
Junior Bernadin - Presidential Awardee, House System Expert, STEM Expert, NFT Creator
Why I joined... “I love the idea of coming together with a network of racial justice supporters across the country to learn about and support nonprofits that are Black-led and supporting Black communities.”
Keith Evans - Working for a better tomorrow!
Why I joined... “Ok. Where is the cookout? Y’all can find me at aagd.co. I’m from New Orleans and reside in Austin, Texas (for now 🤨). If anyone wants to give me a plot of land in Hawaii, Oakland, or Barcelona I’ll take it off your hands in a heartbeat.”
Terrence Moline - Founder + Head Listener @ African American Graphic Designers
Why I joined... “Hi Everyone, my name is Joshua Devine. I'm a Pittsburgh, PA native but currently live in Washington, DC working in the racial economic equity and advocacy space at the National Community Reinvestment Coalition. I am joining this group to connect with other racial equity advocates, share and learn about promising practices in the field, and cultivate new partnerships for future work and initiatives.”

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 Black History Month, Every Month. 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 racial justice supporter 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.
