"We invite interested women and members to attend," JJ Jones, OWF membership co-chair, said, "and hear about the good work we do for the Ojai Valley and how much fun we have doing it. We want our members and prospective members to come and meet other women interested in improving the valley. This event is the culmination of our Membership Drive, which ends May 31."
Why does the annual membership end on May 31? That is the date required to
see how much money has been raised to support the OWF grants program for 2025.
The research teams spend time over the summer visiting the nonprofits who have
submitted grant applications and then select the top ten applicants to be voted
on by members in September. The Ojai Women's Fund Celebration is held each
November, where the grants are awarded.
Since 2016, the Ojai Women's Fund has granted almost $700,000 to nonprofits
that deliver services to the Ojai Valley. The group is a Giving Circle
organization, a new way for women across America to join together to give more
substantial assistance to worthy nonprofits where they live.
