Membership
Membership is based on an annual contribution of $1,100. How your contribution is allocated:​
Pooled Grant Fund
$500 of your annual membership contribution is pooled with other members' funds and distributed through a grant solicitation and selection process.
Individually Designated Gift
$250 of your membership contribution is designated by you to a nonprofit of your choice.
Endowment Fund
$250 of your membership donation is added to this Fund. Annually, WGA can disburse a percentage of this fund to the Pooled Grant Fund.
$100 of your membership contribution is allocated to administrative expenses.
Corporate Sponsorship
As a Corporate Sponsor, you will be investing in the human potential of your employee by providing an opportunity to experience personal fulfillment and growth through philanthropy and community commitment.
You will earn recognition as an organization that creates opportunities for its employees and their community.
As a community partner, your logo will be displayed on our website and in our monthly newsletter sent to over 250 local community members. Participation in WGA functions are not mandatory and would rarely interfere with your employee’s work schedule.
You are welcome to join WGA at anytime during the year. To vote in the next year's Pooled Fund Grant Cycle, contributions must be made by December 1. Contributions are made directly to Idaho Community Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) for accounting purposes only. All grants and gifts are locally distributed and directed by our WGA membership. All contributions are fully tax deductible.
​
WGA offers a special Sprouting Fund membership
for women 40 years old and younger at $600, with the balance of $500 being paid by an anonymous donor. The Sprouting Fund membership encourages interest in WGA among women who might not feel fully prepared to commit the entire amount in dues their first year. Subsequent two years dues of $1,100 each year are the responsibility of the member.
