Plano Women for Good
Why I joined... “My family and I just relocated to Royal Oak from Cincinnati, OH, and I am excited and interested in getting to know new people in the city. More importantly, I love this area and am eager to get involved!”
Holly Koczak - Member since August, 2025
Why I joined... “I previously ran a nonprofit focused on clean water initiatives and am excited about the opportunity to get back to my nonprofit roots! I’m eager to connect with other local business professionals, expand my network, and give back to the community.”
Natalie Relich - Retention & Revenue Growth at Underdog Sports
Why I joined... “Hello all, I just discovered Grapevine and found this giving circle. I love the concept of group donations for local charities and I'm excited to contribute to the good cause. Cheers, ping”
Ping Ho - CEO of Backbone Hospitality
Why I joined... “I'm the director and Queen of an organization committed to criminal justice reform. We need all the support we can get. It'd been hard running an organization as a black women. I just need more people to trust black woman leadership!!”
Elisheva Johnson - Member since July, 2024
Why I joined... “As a transgender woman, I have had great difficulty in finding the support I've needed throughout my life, especially during the time leading up to my transition. Communities build support, but they also require it. I'm hoping to build strong connections with the intent to drive higher levels of support than I can provide on my own to amazing organizations in need.”
Nicole (Nikki) Thorne - Member since January, 2024
Why I joined... “With working remote I have missed the community interaction, connecting with others and finding ways to give back. Looking forward to connecting with women in business and giving back to the community and non profits I love!”

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 Detroit 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 Detroit 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 local women leaders in Detroit 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.
