Last night, we announced our 2025 Annual Grant Fund recipients at our April Membership Meeting!
The Saturday Club’s Grant Program represents the culmination of the hard fundraising work we do as members with the support of our community each and every year. Through this program, we provide direct contribution of funds to help support local charitable organizations that help enrich the lives of women, children and families in our region.
Through this program, we provide direct contribution of funds to help support local charitable organizations that help enrich the lives of women, children and families in our region.
This year, we received 76 grant applications – more than double last year’s applications! Our Grant Committee, comprised of our President, President-Elect, VP of Community Outreach, VP of Ways and Means, and elected Philanthropy Chairs and Committee Members from the club Membership, selected 9 recipients whose missions aligned closely without our own. These organizations outlined a specific purpose or project for the funds to be used in order to benefit their recipients most effectively. The selection process was difficult to choose among so many organizations’ worthy causes, and we are honored to provide our support!
