Financial Commitment
- Each member commits to $1,300 per program year (July to June) in membership dues, $1,000 of which is allocated to our annual grant pool and $300 of which supports the operating budget.
- In 2023-2024, we added a $600 annual member dues level. This level is intended for new members for whom an annual gift of $1,300 is inaccessible. At this level, $300 goes to the grants pool (rather than $1,000). Members at both the $600 and $1,300 levels have equal opportunity to vote on grants and participate in leadership. A member’s giving level will only be known to WIF staff. Learn more here. Click here to join at either level.
- Each year the grant pool is regenerated by membership dues. Payment of dues by December 31 each year enables us to determine the total grant funds available each year to award impactful grants to local non-profit organizations.
- Anyone is invited to consider a gift to the Annual Fund to support member engagement and educational events and day-to-day operations.
