What is Sisterhood for Good?
Sisterhood for Good (SFG) encourages and empowers women to accomplish purposeful change in the Hill Country through grants to local nonprofits. Our goal is to be the premiere engine of philanthropic action in our community. No fancy parties, no huge time commitments, just a way to meet new people and affect worthwhile change in our community!
Overview
Two chapters of Sisterhood for Good exist in the Hill Country with funds managed by the Community Foundation. The Fredericksburg and Kerrville chapters operate separately, but follow a similar format. The Leadership Team is currently working on the format for 2025.
- The annual membership drive begins in November and continues until February 14.
- Individuals who donate $250-$500 receive a group ballot to vote for their favorite nonprofits. Individuals who donate $1,000 or more receive their own ballot.
- Members narrow the pool of nonprofits to three (3) semi-finalists.
- Members vote to award grant monies to the top vote-recipients.
- Winner(s) announced in April/May.
Impact
Each Sisterhood for Good chapter follows a simple giving model. Sponsorships fund operating and event expenses. The membership decides which grantees to fund. Grants to local nonprofits provide opportunities to help all area residents lead healthier, happier and more satisfying lives.
