Plano Women for Good
Why I joined... “I have been in roles throughout my career (both in non-profit and for-profit) that have always rolled under the arch of 'Business Development'. I have a wealth of connections across numerous industries and would love to do some good with these connections. I was at American Cancer Society for 2 years in large corporate gifts, I still have relationships with many of the leaders who I worked with at some of the largest businesses in America. I am interested in finding ways to help others through my network, wether it be funding, sponsorship, grants, introductions, etc.; I have heard great things...”
Blair Binder - Business Development Executive at Quandary Consulting Group
Why I joined... “Hello! I'm excited to join a local giving circle to have a greater philanthropic impact! I've worked in non profits earlier in my career and understand the impact funding can make. I now work in tech SaaS and am not only (still) passionate about non profits, but also in creating more space for women in tech as it's still under represented. Women supporting women is so powerful and I'd love to join a community working towards this, pooling resources for greater impact. I'm a big believer in giving circles and am impressed with this application to philanthropy! And, joining a community with t...”

Why I joined... “Hey there! I'm Desiree, a Solutions Consultant at Quandary Consulting Group in DTC and a Navy veteran. I'm here to connect with women in tech and build my network and community. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, hiking, archery, and trying new things.”
Desiree Easterling - Member since July, 2023
Why I joined... “I'm very excited to join a group of amazing tech professionals that want to partner with nonprofits across the Denver Metro Area. Tech was not an industry I was exposed to until my 20s. I'm very eager to educate young women in our community about this space and how they can contribute no matter what they're interested in studying. I'm also thrilled to grow my professional network in Denver with like-minded individuals who are passionate about the tech space.”
Katie Finnegan - Member since May, 2023
Why I joined... “I care about equality of women in the workplace and want to provide women more opportunity.”
Sara Swearingen - Strategic Media & Entertainment at Adobe

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 Denver Women in Tech 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 tech leader in Denver 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.
