If you are a full-time or part-time resident, or simply a person who wants to make a difference in the Wood River community and connect with other like-minded women, we’d love to have you join us! Wood River Women’s Foundation (WRWF) welcomes new members on a rolling basis throughout the year so you can jump in at any time.
Annual Membership
The annual membership donation is $1,100: $1,000 goes towards funding grants for a wide-range of nonprofits and $100 of your membership donation helps support our operating fund. However, $100 per member does not cover the true cost of WRWF operations. To more accurately support the Foundation’s operating expenses, members are invited to voluntarily contribute $200 for a total donation of $1,200 with $1,000 going to Idaho nonprofits

The Sprouting Fund
Since 2012, WRWF has received a generous annual contribution from an anonymous donor to help grow our membership. The Sprouting Fund offers a limited number of first-time memberships at $550. It is designed to instill interest in our organization and to encourage and enable women who might not be able to pay the full $1,100 membership donation for their initial year. The $500 paid by the new member goes directly to our pooled grant funds and is matched by the Sprouting Fund. The $50 goes to suppoerting our opersting costs.

Future Forward
In recognition of the key role younger generations will play in the long-term sustainability of WRWF, the Foundation created WRWF’s Future Forward, a full membership for women aged 50 and younger at an affordable donation rate.
Launched in 2021, Future Forward provides opportunities for younger women to engage in WRWF’s mission, participate in grantmaking, and learn philanthropic strategies and skills. Our younger members are key to ensuring organizational sustainability and lasting support of our nonprofit partners throughout Blaine County. We look forward to welcoming you!
A Future Forward membership is $600 per year with $500 going into our pooled grants fund and $100 to help cover operating costs.
