Plano Women for Good
Why I joined... “The cliche of thinking globally by acting locally... As a relatively new executive director, I am motivated to connect with other women leaders. I also work from home and spend too much time on zoom, so giving back in my city and getting together with more like-minded women is inspiring to me.”
Donata Bohanec - Elder Justice Champion and dedicated non-profit leader
Why I joined... “I’m moving to the North Bay in the next few months. Want to create a community to be a part of…and very interested in volunteer opportunities.”
Mary Anne Burkman - Worked as dietitian for over 40 years before retirement.
Why I joined... “Hello! Moved to SR from FL in 2021 & am in heaven! I'm an art teacher & facilitator, guiding everyone to harness their inner creativity. I'm joining for a few reasons. One is to connect with women in community who are focused on raising the levels of the community around us (service work feeds my soul). Two, to make friends in my new hometown. And lastly, to foster business & networking connections.”
Tara Dickinson - Facilitator of Art Experiences, Retreats & Workshops
Why I joined... “To be in community with wonderful people and do some good.”
Cristina Larsen - Grant strategist and partner to nonprofits.
Why I joined... “I am a professional who works remotely so I’m looking to create connection and community in a way that matters. Im interested to build a network of like-minded, professionals, and people who have similar interests and goals.”
Mandy Lee - Do good, be good, feel good.
Why I joined... “Looking forward to making an impact in my community and making friends with other like-minded women!”

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 Santa Rosa 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 Santa Rosa 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 Santa Rosa 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.
