Fundraising Events Proposal from the Fundraising, Programming and Partnerships Ad Hoc Committee

Summary

The Commission on the Status of Women's (CSW) Fundraising, Programming and Partnerships Ad Hoc Committee proposes hosting three to four fundraising mixers annually to support the CSW's mission and create a funding stream for community programs. These events, potentially branded with slogans like "He for She" or "EmpowerHer," aim to engage the community and garner financial support. The committee suggests launching the first mixer in March or April 2026, possibly at the Chevy Chase Country Club, with tentative dates of March 4 or March 11. The initiative also includes establishing a grant funding program for organizations improving the lives of women and girls in Glendale. The CSW will need to consider marketing, sponsorship levels, and potentially forming a community steering committee.

Citizen Impact

This proposal aims to increase funding for programs and services benefiting women and girls in Glendale through community fundraising events. Residents may be invited to participate in or sponsor these mixers, contributing to local initiatives.
