Women’s Leadership Guild Awards $20,000 to Local Non-Profits

Four local non-profits were awarded $5,000 each by the Pullman Regional Hospital Women’s Leadership Guild for this year’s grant cycle.

Now in its sixth year of making grant awards, the Women’s Leadership Guild has raised and gifted more than $175,000 to support women’s and children’s health and wellness and Pullman Regional Hospital’s highest needs.

Members voted to award four $5,000 grants for the 2020-21 grant cycle to:

1. Families Together for People with Disabilities—funding support groups for parents and caregivers of children with disabilities
2. Jefferson Elementary School PTA Outdoor Learning Lab and Garden—funding to support outdoor learning projects and a raised garden bed garden at Kamiak Elementary school.
3. Northwest Cancer Foundation of Hope—financially assisting cancer patients living in Whitman and Latah County to help enrich and enhance the lives of those in active cancer treatment.
4. Pullman Community Council on Aging, Meals on Wheel—supporting Meals on Wheels hot-meal delivery service to seniors and meeting the increase in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We are a 44-member strong guild of women ‘givers’ who want to empower others,” said guild Chair, Angie Feuerstein. “To me, this is the most rewarding aspect of the Guild—gifting funds to competent and enthusiastic community non-profits, making a difference on the Palouse.”

Awards will be formally presented on Wednesday, November 4^th 5:30 to 6:30pm via Zoom. To RSVP, email wlg@pullmanregional.org
