Programs and results
What we aim to solve
The Sunriver Women’s Club views its philanthropy program as an investment toward the betterment of our community. We strive to have a philanthropy program that develops a strong network of services in south Deschutes County that will improve the lives of our neighbors and have lasting impact in the community. The SRWC philanthropy program funds essential services that support our most vulnerable citizens and are designed to protect and improve the lives of women, children, families and seniors in our community. We have annual grants given to local community nonprofits that typically range from $1,000 to $5,000 as well as occasional grants for selected community projects that range from of $10,000 to $50,000.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Community Grant Program
The community grant program supports nonprofits providing essential services in south Deschutes County. Grants support nonprofits wishing to initiate a new program in south Deschutes County, enable organizations to expand services to south Deschutes County or provide on-going support for essential services.
There are five priority areas for the SRWC grant program for 2022. These include programs addressing food insecurity, child abuse prevention and intervention, education & youth development, health/mental health and secure housing.
Power of 100+ Program
The SRWC Power of 100+ program was initiated in September 2018 as a way for club members and members of the community to make a larger contribution to a specific need in the community. The program is based on 100+ people each donating $100 resulting in an impactful $10,000+ donation to a signature project selected by the SRWC membership. In its first year, the program funded two projects at $10,000 each. This program is temporarily on hold, while we are supporting the Power of 50 for Education.
The Power of 50 for Education
The Power of 50 for Education Fund is a program targeted at the tremendous educational needs in south Deschutes County by raising $50,000 to support student success. Our selected recipient of the fund is the newly formed South Deschutes County Collaboration of nonprofits and school personnel. The Collaboration will increase out of school services that directly support student success—mentoring, after school and summer programs, parent outreach, and youth to youth led activities. South Deschutes County has far fewer of these opportunities for students, which research shows are critical in enhancing learning and engaging students in school.
