The MVWC Service Project is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit arm of the Moon Valley Women’s Club. It was created in 2019 to align with IRS regulations requiring that charitable organizations must be separate from social organizations. By gaining this non-profit status, our donors can legally deduct contributions on their taxes. Our funds in the past have come from our coordinated efforts through various endeavors, such as an annual auction, casino night, bake sales, silent auction and other fundraising activities. We are always looking for and appreciate private and corporate donations to assist in funding our various projects. Members are encouraged to donate to the MVWC Service Project each year. 100% of the funds raised go to fund these grants.
The Service Project Board is composed of 9 MVWC members who meet quarterly to coordinate and distribute raised funds and purchased goods to deserving local associations and activities that improve the quality of life in the community. There are many opportunities to volunteer which includes working with charities to assure they receive funding for their specific projects, shopping for groceries, clothing and toys during the holiday adopt a family program, along with assisting with the various MVWC fundraising activities.
Grants are awarded in the spring for small community groups. Larger grants are awarded in the fall to other nonprofit organizations to aid and support their specific projects. All grant recipients must be sponsored by a member of the Moon Valley Women’s Club via a Grant Sponsorship Form available on our website.
We want to thank our outgoing Service Project Board Members: Michael H, who served as Chair for 4 years; Marcia H and Karen Z, who served as Members-At-Large for 2 years. We appreciate the work they contributed to our Service Project Board.
Please contact chair Sandi K from our online directory with any questions you may have.
