Why I joined... “As Executive Director of Emerald Ark one of our primary goals is to inspire social change. Through using therapeutic nutrition and holistic care improving the health and well being of animals and the people who love them. Bringing light to issues that help raise awareness so that our programs and services do more than aid animals, but move everyone involved into elevated thoughts and habits that resolve long standing community and social problems.”

I am a Transformational Life Coach, passionate about teaching others the principles and tools I have used to re-create my life. New-ish to solopreneur-ship, I would love to connect with other women to support and be supported on this journey. I have been dabbling in philanthropy and want to grow that part of my life. I was excited to learn about the giving circle here and want to be a part of this amazing way to give. Looking forward to meeting you all! Suzanne Free to Prosp...”

Our vision is to create a universal shift in adventure sports that expands what is possible for those who have faced life-changing injuries. The foundation prevents accidents by educating athletes of all ages on mountain safety and awareness; provides financial support, adaptive sporting equipment, and healing resources to more than 800 traumatic injury survivors; and enables these individuals to reintegrate into outdoor sports/recreation and rediscover their community at free adaptive sports camps.

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 Reno Women 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 leader in Reno 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 Reno 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.
