How Did Sanilac Women Who Care Begin?
How did this all begin? Well, a group of Sanilac Women Who Care got together wanting to do some good, and the rest is history!
But really, in 2013 a group of community-minded women set out to support the great work of local philanthropy in a meaningful way. The goal was to harness the power of giving and create awareness for the great work being done by nonprofits around our county. And what better way to do that than to gather women together, create a community of philanthropic learners and doers, and give away the largest local grant in Sanilac County….and all in one night!
That is how Sanilac Women Who Care was born. Since then we have given out over $100K to the community we call home. Each year with a goal to give more than we did the previous year and to involve women in the engagement of powerful philanthropic giving.
We hope you consider joining us and bring a friend!
