Mission

We provide a means by which women in our county can combine their giving to allow for more sizable impact gifts to non-profit organizations, inclusive of faith-based organizations and governmental agencies, working to meet needs and enhance the quality of life for all in Chaffee County.

How It Works:

  • Commitment involves attending (if possible) four, one-hour meetings each year, and pledging to give $100 per meeting ($400 a year). Meetings will alternate between Buena Vista and Salida.

  • At each meeting, an opportunity is provided for three members of the group to present a five-minute explanation of a local organization or agency in need of funding. After each presentation, members ask questions of the presenter.

  • A secret-ballot vote is taken.

  • When the winner is announced, each member (whether in attendance or not) donates $100 to the chosen agency. Gifts can be made through Grapevine via credit card or bank account. For other payment options, please contact us.

  • The meeting closes and the awardee benefits by a substantial gift ($100 x the number of members).
