What if your next birthday could be more than a celebration of another year? What if it could be an opportunity to support something you truly care about?

That’s the idea behind The Good Gift, a new giving program from Santa Rosa Women for Good. The program invites members to turn their birthdays and special occasions into opportunities to give back, choosing a local nonprofit and cause that reflects their own passions.

200 women. 127 Impact Members. Thousands of dollars invested in our community. And so much more good ahead.

Our August Happy Hour was one of those evenings that reminds us exactly why Santa Rosa Women for Good exists.

This month we launched a Back-to-School Supply Drive to benefit children served by Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Santa Rosa and our members generously donated backpacks, school supplies, lunch boxes, water bottles, and classroom essentials to help set local students up for success.

Last Friday, a group of our members had the privilege of spending the morning volunteering with Ceres Community Project, one of our past grant recipients. It was an inspiring day filled with learning, connection, and plenty of chopping, stirring, and preparing nutritious meals for neighbors in our community.

From welcoming new faces and reconnecting with longtime members to packing 60 backpacks for local students and announcing our biggest grant cycle yet, our July Happy Hour was a beautiful reminder of what's possible when women come together to make a difference.

Giving circles do more than fund nonprofits. They build friendships, create belonging, and remind us that positive change happens when people come together. Discover how our members are finding hope, connection, and community through Santa Rosa Women for Good.
