Join Reno Women for Good
Helping women in Reno build connections, enrich our professional and personal lives while doing good for the greater community. We come together once every quarter to network, donate, learn about local nonprofits and vote on which ones to support together.
“I've been looking for a group to work with toward giving back to our local and larger community. I believe I found it!”
Heather Armstrong, Reno Women for Good
“The idea of building a network of like-minded women, who are working both professionally and personally to make a positive impact is exciting and encouraging. I work in the renewable energy sector, so sustainability and environmentalism are high priorities for me. In addition I look for ways to support programs focused on women's rights and educational equity. Having only lived in Reno for a little over a year, I am still learning the social landscape of the city. I am excited to have this group as a way to further my exposure and build a greater community.”
Katie Mogilski, Reno Women for Good
“I would like to connect with philanthropic women and amplify our resources and impact. I believe in the power of women to change the world, starting in our own backyard.”
Cela Hyatt, Reno Women for Good
“I love the idea of collaborating with other visionary, solution-oriented women to create change in our incredible community. I had heard of this style of program in other communities and am thrilled that women in northern Nevada are coming together for the common good.”
Candee Ramos, Reno Women for Good
“Hello! I'm Jen Carlile, and recently moved from Truckee to Reno. I'm interested in supporting the local Reno / Tahoe community across a variety of different vectors ranging from empowering women & girls, protecting natural habitat, and social equity. Looking forward to connecting with others in this community”

Members make their quarterly contribution.
2. Nomination
If a member has made a contribution, they can then nominate a nonprofit for consideration by adding their nomination on the post on the Grapevine page. The nomination should align with the focus outlined by your group.
3. Selection
After all the nominations are submitted, we’ll randomly select three members' nominations.
4. Meeting
Each quarter we’ll hold a virtual or in-person networking event for one hour. At the quarterly event, the three members’ nominations that were selected will be presented. They will have five minutes to present their nonprofit and then five minutes for Q&A from members. We’ll have time for networking and connection at the beginning and end of the event.
5. Voting
After all the presentations are complete, every member who has made their contribution will be eligible to vote. The nonprofit with the most votes will be rewarded with the funds.
