Greenville Women Giving Committees

To join a committee, please email greenvillewomengiving@gmail.com and include your name and committee interests.

Communications Committee
The Communications Committee oversees the branding, communications, marketing, social media, and public relations strategies for the organization to make sure that GWG is accurately represented and perceived in the community. The goal is to ensure and broaden visibility of the organization to its members and to the public while applying consistent branding and messaging across the organization.

Education Committee
The Education Committee plans and implements education programs in each of our five granting areas.   From January – April, the committee meets and plans events for the following year.  In addition to the five education sessions between September and April, the committee, in coordination with other committees,  hosts occasional field trips  of interest to GWG members.

Grants Review Committee
Grants Review is responsible for evaluating grant applications, conducting site visits, and selecting grants for voting by all GWG members.  The Committee ensures that the grant-making process is fair, interactive and inclusive.  Members are expected to attend 4 – 6 meetings between January and April, respond to frequent emails, and make site visits to selected grant applicants.

Grants Assessment Committee
Grants Assessment ensures that the planned outcomes of each grant are being accomplished within the accepted timeline and budget.  Each member, who must have Grants Review experience, becomes a liaison to one grantee.  The Liaison will visit the grantee and submit a site visit report in the fall, a progress report in the winter, and will ensure completion of the grantee’s final report in June.   Members are expected to attend 3 meetings and respond to emailed reports.  Participation on the Grants Assessment Committee is limited to the number of assigned grants.

Membership Committee
The Membership Committee works to recruit new GWG members and to retain and engage existing members with the goal of helping all members be integrated and feel appreciated. Members can serve as 1.) Greeters – welcome members and guests to all GWG events and manage the check-in tables; 2.) Small Events Coordinators – arrange, plan and execute a variety of events such as Each One Bring One, Strictly Social, and other planned “mixers.” Committee members will introduce new members to GWG at events or informal one-on-one meetings to discuss and answer questions about GWG. Committee participation can be flexible throughout the year.

Special Events Committee
The Special Events Committee is responsible for the planning and execution of the Fall Kick-off, the Members Only Luncheon, the Ballot Showcase, and the Annual Meeting and coordinates program requirements with GWG leadership. The committee evaluates and secures venues, plans menus and coordinates logistics.

Sponsorship Committee
The Sponsorship Committee is responsible for securing cash and in-kind support to meet GWG’s financial goals by defining sponsorship opportunities, identifying and meeting with potential corporate and individual partners, and advancing key messages that emphasize the marketing and community relations benefits of sponsorship.
