FAWCO Representative Information
Your Role as a FAWCO Representative
As a FAWCO Representative, you are the essential link between your club and FAWCO, sharing valuable information about FAWCO and The FAWCO Foundation with your own club members. The FAWCO Foundation (the philanthropic heart of FAWCO) offers FAWCO Member Clubs the opportunity to benefit from its Programs. The Foundation has two primary programs - Development Grants and Education Awards. In addition, there is a calendar of suggested tasks for FAWCO representatives.
The Development Grant Program offers grants that can aid and impact a charity or community service organization that is supported by a FAWCO Member Club. The Education Awards are monetary awards available to FAWCO members and their families to assist with educational pursuits. Additionally, The FAWCO Foundation oversees and actively fundraises for the FAWCO Target Program, currently focusing on Health, as well as other special initiatives such as Matching Grant Programs.
The Foundation programs are made possible through the support of donations from FAWCO Member Clubs, individual club members and our generous donors (Friends of The Foundation).
As a FAWCO Rep, what can you do?
