Doers – Donate Your Time

We know that time is one of the most valuable gifts you can give. Join us as a Doer and make an impact in your community.

External Doers – Community Volunteers

Looking for a simple way to give back? Forward Giving offers opportunities to volunteer locally alongside like-minded women committed to making a difference.

Internal Doers – Behind-the-Scenes Heroes

Have a special skill or passion? We’re always looking for dedicated volunteers to help with the inner workings of Forward Giving. Join one of our committees and put your talents to work:

• Finance Committee (great for accounting professionals)

• Nominating Committee

• Marketing Committee (help us spread the word)

• Site Visit Committee (assist in vetting organizations)

Whether you're skilled in accounting, research, marketing, or project management, there’s a place for you at Forward Giving.

Together, we can make a real impact. Whether you choose to donate, volunteer, or both, your contribution helps strengthen our community.
