Broaden the philanthropic landscape in Yamhill County by joining our women's circle of giving

​​99 GAL Friends is a growing community of women philanthropists who are active throughout Yamhill County, Oregon.

We are part of an ever-increasing number of women's giving circles that have been formed in the U.S. and internationally to bring about significant positive change in their own communities.

I'm sorry James. I accidentally lost the text It takes a circle you had put in purple inside the hands.
Also, the text above should not be bolded.

 We pool our yearly membership fees (a minimum of $300 yearly or $25 a month), so that relatively large Impact Grants can be awarded annually to local nonprofits that work primarily with underserved populations in the four areas below.

To further our own education, we are committed to providing opportunities for members to share expertise, build skills, and learn about community, philanthropy, and the nonprofit world.

It is more rewarding to watch money change the world that to watch it accumulate. ~Gloria Steinem
​I am honored to link arms with other amazing women in Yamhill County to be part of the organization 99 GALS! The real magic of membership goes beyond the financial. It’s about connection, collaboration, and community. Together we can make an impact in support of causes that matter most to us.  ~Shirley Ward-Mullen, member
