Plano Women for Good
Why I joined... “When women get together, powerful things happen. They happen to the group, and also at the individual level. I am joining NYWBG to help my city and my fellow New Yorkers thrive and grow, and also to help myself do the same, through new connections, learning and giving. I feel that generosity is the bedrock and benchmark of true success, and I look forward to meeting other women who are driven not only to succeed, but to share.”
Susan Connor - Creative Director and Owner / Susan Connor New York
Why I joined... “Sometimes the people who are important to our lives we haven't met yet . It is these types of Social Networking Spaces that allows us to grow. I posted this as a comment but I wanted to share it here . Building Lasting Business Relationships is just as even more important than building business”
Angelita Bacchus - Licensed WFG Agent

Your questions answered
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 tip on 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.
