Plano Women for Good
Why I joined... “Because I believe in mutual aid and have always been curious to try a giving circle. And I love women networks. I have created several.”
Charlotte E Binns - Sustainabilty Director, land steward, mom, dancer
Why I joined... “Hi, I joined to make meaningful connections with other career-oriented people whose goal is to make a positive impact with their actions. I believe in doing good spreads more good. I work in real estate in Westchester County and specifically enjoy demonstrating to people that homeownership is achievable and making them feel empowered during the process.”
Victoria Korhammer - Member since April, 2023
Why I joined... “I serendipitously came across this network and immediately wanted to join! I began my professional career out of college in the nonprofit world. I spent 6+ years working for an NGO that built schools in the Kibera Slum of Nairobi, Kenya. I am passionate about grassroots leadership, community development, engaged citizenship. I have transitioned to the private sector on a professional level but remain committed to giving back and being in circles such as this one.”
Aly Luiso - Business Development, SterileMed LLC
Why I joined... “To connect with Black and Women of Color and spread awareness for mental health and wellness for communities of color.”
Mabel Silva - Mental Health Counselor-LP
Why I joined... “I have been involved in the service industry and giveback space for almost two decades! I moved to Yonkers last year on my way to fulfilling half of my lifetime goal-be a $1M donating MAMA! (Baby born 5/20/22!) I believe WWFG will help me with completion of the second half!”

Grapevine Giving Foundation
The Grapevine Giving Foundation plays a crucial role in facilitating the launch and growth of groups in the Grapevine network. In order to sustain our efforts in creating new groups, we allocate 50% of your first donation to support our nonprofit organization, the Grapevine Giving Foundation.
This approach ensures that our foundation receives crucial funding while fostering the growth and development of new groups within our network.
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 Westchester 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 professional woman in Westchester 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.

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.
