Join Virginia Beach Women for Good
Helping women in Virginia Beach 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. Launching in the summer of 2022, VBWG members will donate $50 per quarter with the goal of raising at least $5,000 each quarter.
“I am very pleased to have found this Grapevine group for our community. I feel it will be a very special and satisfying way to become more involved in giving to our community. I am a business woman and health coach and am always looking for ways to improve and help people in becoming their best.”
Kim Vakos, Virginia Beach Women for Good
“I believe in leading the way with irrational generosity and this opportunity aligns perfectly. It is also a great way to get my friends, family and real estate clients involved in giving throughout the year.”
Monique Harps, Virginia Beach Women for Good
“I have a passion for the concerns and cares of women. I believe we are stronger together than as individuals and wherever and whenever I have an opportunity to encourage, esteem, support, uplift another woman, I am there. I know it is a part of my purpose.”
JayDee Harper, Virginia Beach Women for Good
“I joined this group because I care about people and I want to be able to help. I also enjoy having a network of women who support women. My business is founded upon the ideas of self love and empowerment and I feel that this group would have like minded women and hopefully we can enjoy our time together as we help the 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.
