FAWCO Foundation Friendship Quilt

"Celebrating Tradition"

Instructions for the 2011 quilt are now available. Moroccan zillij tiles in the colors of jewels will create a beautiful Moroccan mosaic of cloth. We would like each FAWCO club to participate, as the money raised from the "Friendship Quilt" raffle will support our DGs and Awards.

Now what?

As a FAWCO Representative you are the essential link between your club and FAWCO. There are tremendous opportunities for you to get involved in various FAWCO Committees.

The FAWCO Foundation, the philanthropic “heart” of FAWCO, offers FAWCO member clubs the opportunity to benefit from our Programs. We offer Educational Awards, for both FAWCO members and their children. The Development Grants Program offers development grants that can aid and impact a charity or community service organization that is supported by your club. We hope that you will publicize these opportunities through your club’s newsletters or website. Please encourage your members to visit The Foundation’s website. And please feel free to use the articles and information from our Annual Foundation Newsletter.

Your Projects, Your Passion, Your Foundation

These programs are made possible through the support of donations from FAWCO Member clubs, individual Club members and other “Friends”. Many of the donations that come to The Foundation are the proceeds from fundraisers held by FAWCO Member clubs. We really appreciate the generous efforts on the part of Reps to organize these events on behalf of The Foundation. Donations from clubs may entitle your club to become a sponsor and award or development grant. How exciting to see your club’s name attached to an issue or program that you support!

Put the FUN in Fundraising

Fundraising Tip....

Create a Committee

A diverse committee will bring new ideas, resources and
result in a more polished event. People are more likely to accept
a fundraising committee position if the time commitment and
expectations are well defined.

Share the love! We are looking for “field reports” from Reps who have organized a successful event. Please email: VP Communications!
