Our Big Give in May was a huge success, both because we awarded $281,000 in grant money to 5 great nonprofits, and because we had more than 50 people join or renew their memberships right on the spot, getting us off to a great start on our way to 300 or more members for 2024! Here are some things to know:

• Our membership year begins June 1, and ends May 31, just after the Big Give. Join or renew today and be a part of the organization all year!
• Aligning your membership with the calendar year rather than our grant year is another option - just remember that in order to serve on our Grant Review Focus Area Committees or our Financial Review team, you must renew your membership by January, before the process begins
• We have streamlined our membership forms to make them easier to use.
• If you have questions, please email us by clicking the link below.

To join, members contribute a total of $1,100. Of that, $1,000 goes DIRECTLY into our grant pool. $100 is used for events and administrative costs. If you pay via credit card, you'll also receive a note thanking you for covering the fees charged to us by the card companies, usually between $11 and $33. Please see payment options at left.
