President's Message: Giving Makes us Happy!
Most of us recognize February as the month of Valentine’s Day. Maybe you know it as Black History Month, or possibly you know it as American Heart Month? February is also home to Feed the Birds Day, International Book Giving Day, Random Acts of Kindness Day, and National Love Your Pet Day, among many others. I don’t know who comes up with these or how they determine which day is for what thing, but have you ever noticed they are always about giving?Read more.

Thank you to all those who joined us for Kickoff at The Veranda earlier this month. It was a beautiful evening filled with members, their guests, and plenty of surprises! And if you were especially lucky that evening, you left with a fabulous gift from a few special drawings:
- Karen Niemeyer won a Charity Teague Confections Valentine’s Basket for renewing by January 31st.
- Afarin Edwards won the “Bring a Friend” drawing, which included flowers and a bottle of wine!
- And, Marie Kisner won a pair of earrings valued at $400 from Platinum Sponsor Gurinsky’s Jewelers.
And the big win? We are even closer to reaching our next Membership Milestone of awarding TWO High Impact Grants! Our grant pool is now at $174,000!
Join us for one of these upcoming events! Only a few spots left for our members-only event at SA Youth!
Agency Update: Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas
Located at the Sally Cheever Girl Scout Leadership Center is the Backyard, a four-acre green space with limitless potential. As a 2024 Impact San Antonio Support Grant recipient, their vision is to develop the Backyard into a multi-purpose space for use by Girl Scouts and the greater San Antonio community.
"I first heard about Impact San Antonio through my involvement in the local nonprofit and business community. As someone passionate about women-led organizations and philanthropy, I was immediately drawn to the mission of empowering nonprofits through collective giving."
