OPPORTUNITIES TO GIVE
Your generosity makes everything we do possible!
Many of you have asked "Why does WACHH need donations? Don't membership dues cover the organization's expenses?" While most of our funding comes from membership dues, dues do not cover all our expenses. The pandemic demonstrated to us that membership dues are not guaranteed income. Our membership was cut in half because of the pandemic, and our primary source of revenue dramatically decreased, while our expenses did not. The Council works a year in advance to recruit speakers and plan quality programs that our members and the local community have come to enjoy and expect. If you enjoy our programs, please consider making a tax- deductible donation today.
Does your company have a Corporate Matching program? You can potentially double the impact of your gift to the Council. Check with your employer today to see if they have a matching gift program.
Thank you for believing in our programs and being part of something special!
