Plano Women for Good
Why I joined... “I joined this group because I am expanding my vortex of positive and encouraging energy, which is enhanced by engaging with super awesome women in business whose missions and purposes are to spread dignity and integrity throughout humanity.”
Arnyce Foster-Hernandez - Changing Lives Through Food and Inspiration
Why I joined... “I have been in the world of education for over a decade and this past summer I made the transition to starting my own consulting business for special education. I'm looking to build connections and a network of people with similar goals and aspirations around making an impact in the community.”
Jennifer Manning - Special Education Advocate and Consultant
Why I joined... “Hi everyone, this is Alex. I'm French-Argentinean, but I grew up in Spain. I studied in Canada, and I am now living in the US. A while ago, I became involved with Effective Altruism initiatives. In doing so, I was incentivized to start an online masters program with MIT in International Development, while working for a Fintech company that provides financial support to mission-driven startups and organizations. I recently moved to NYC and would like to get involved with a community of like-minded people that enables me to practice "effective altruism" at a local level. NYWBG sounds like a fant...”
Alexandra Laval - Member since May, 2024
Why I joined... “It is a privilege to join a group of likeminded people who are powerhouses in their own right. I’m excited to learn about new ways to directly impact our communities while also building a community. It’s a pleasure to meet everyone!”
Ali Taylor - Head of External Coaching and Business Planning at Morgan Stanley
Why I joined... “I'd like to meet and connect with empowered women to support causes that make an overall positive impact on the world. In my line of work (supply chain / strategy consulting for automotive manufacturers), I often feel that I am dedicating my time and energy to helping businesses optimize their workflows, identify efficiencies, grow, etc., but I don't feel that I am actually making a net positive impact on the world. I am hoping to re-focus some of that energy into something that truly matters, and I am hopeful that joining this group will help open up the opportunities to do such that.”
Gabi Salomon - Strategy Consultant looking to Make Positive Impact
Why I joined... “I love the idea of helping and giving back and using the resources I gained from my business to do that. I would love to meet like minded women with a good heart as well.”
Melanie Rousselet - Member since January, 2024

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 New York 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 NYC 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 business leaders in NYC 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.
