Partnership of Women referred to as POW! (pronounced like WOW!) is honored to announce the 2019 Grant Finalists. Finalists will be awarded at our Annual Dinner being held on Thursday, November 7th at 6:00 in the evening at Farmer and Frenchman Winery.
Our three finalists are Spottsville Volunteer Fire Department, Habitat for Humanity, and The Gathering Place – Henderson Senior Center. These three were chosen after POW! members made on-site visits and thoroughly reviewed all grant applications submitted during our open grant cycle.
The three finalists will give a short no frills presentation on why they should receive the largest impact grant. One $15,000 award will be given and the runners up will receive $3,000 each based on votes of the members and tabulated by local accounting firm, Kemper CPA Group.
POW! Grants have awarded $112,000 in the first 6 years, the 2019 recipients of $21,000 will raise the total to $133,000. POW! raises money through individual and group memberships and supporting operational sponsorships. Annually, about half the money raised is awarded to local non-profits in that grant year; the other half is invested in an endowment fund. This endowment will allow POW! to continue to give in perpetuity, increasing its future impact.
