Grants Committee

The core of what we do. Every Member of WGFS should consider serving on this Committee, so they can truly appreciate our strong Grants process. This Committee accepts proposals that fit our Grant guidelines. The Committee evaluates the Grant applications, attends site visits of qualifying applicants, and then determines the finalists for our membership vote. They monitor Grantees by attending 6-month and year-end site visits.

Membership Committee

Works to keep our membership vital and happy. They recruit new Members and work with the Events Committee to plan events that both encourage new Members and appeal to our current Members. They are also responsible for welcoming our new Members.
