NEWofMarin Gives Back

Our members are motivated to give back

In addition to our networking events, NEWofMarin raises funds for local and global organizations that empower women and girls through our semi-annual silent auction. The local organizations include Marin Girl’s Choir, The Living Room, Alliance for Girls, and our organization, Together Women Rise.

The Mission of The Living Room is to ease adversity and promote stability, dignity and self-reliance for women and children who are homeless, or at-risk of homelessness, in Sonoma County.

The Living Room welcomes homeless and at-risk women and their children into a warm and safe environment during the day when overnight shelters are closed.  Caring staff and volunteers offer a lifeline during a time of crisis. Whether homeless for some time, newly homeless, or on the verge homelessness, women of all ages and mothers with children are greeted with love and understanding. Mother’s appreciate the child-friendly environment where they receive support while their children engage with toys and learning activities. thelivingroomsc.org

agilogoThe mission of Alliance for Girls is to ensure that girl-serving organizations are more connected, more effective, and better able to prepare today’s girls to be the leaders, agents of change, and thriving women of tomorrow. Alliance for Girls includes 150 organizations and supports more than 300,000 girls. The need for a strong voice that can advocate on behalf of girls and providing opportunities and resources for local girls has never been greater. alliance4girls.org

Together Women Rise is about women and allies coming together all over the world, from all backgrounds and communities, to achieve global gender equality. www.togetherwomenrise.org

Marin Girls Chorus is a treasured nonprofit music education program that was founded in 1988 in Marin County, California to provide girls and young women the opportunity to discover the joyful world of choral singing and the transformative power of music. Girls and young women, ages 5-17, are invited to sing. Our donations go directly to helping fund scholarships for some of the underprivileged girls of Marin county who want to participate in the gift of song. marinchorus.org
