February is Foundation Month. That means it is a time to access your charitable donations. Business Women of Missouri Foundation, Inc. is a 501c not for profit. Our Foundation gives $1,000.00 Scholarships to men and women to advance their careers or even to start a new one. In 2025 we will be awarding 30 $1,000 Scholarships. Some of you may be familiar with the BWM Foundation Challenge categories for the year end awards. For a refresher that information is included here:
Bronze Challenge – $50 – $99
Silver Challenge – $100 – $199
Gold Challenge – $200 – $499
Ruby Challenge – $500 – $999
Diamond Challenge – $1,000+
Remember that every donation regardless of the size will help us with our goal to help others. As a bonus, there will be a chance to win a beautiful quilt that was made with love and donated by PSP Sheila Miller. It will fit across a queen-sized bed and would make a beautiful spread over smaller bed. The size is 77” wide and 92” long. The pattern for this quilt is Pin Wheels and is quilted wit h the Wish Bone. Below is a picture of the quilt.
During the months of February and March, for each donation of $10.00 made a chance will be entered into the quilt drawing. So, if you donate $10 = 1 chance, $20 = 2 chances, $30 = 3 changes, and so on. The winner of the quilt will be drawn at the 2025 BWM Annual State Meeting in April. All donations can be sent to:
