Who are the Women for Good?

At Santa Rosa Women for Good, we believe that every woman has the power to make a difference—and we’re proud to welcome members from all walks of life. Our community is open and inclusive to women of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences.

Among our 60+ members are business leaders, philanthropists, retirees, entrepreneurs, law enforcement officers, homemakers, educators, wine industry professionals, lawyers, librarians, and so many others. We are daughters, partners, mothers, friends, and neighbors—united by a shared desire to give back.

Making an impact on your own can sometimes feel overwhelming. But together, we’re stronger and our impact is magnified. Santa Rosa Women for Good offers a meaningful and accessible way for women to come together, pool our resources, and create real change in our community. When women unite around a common purpose, we not only uplift those around us, we uplift each other. Together, we are building a more connected, compassionate, and empowered Sonoma County.

“With all of the global crises in our 24 hour new cycle, I wanted to make a difference in our world by starting at the community level. This group has provided great connection and friendship. There is so much need and so many non-profits making a big difference in Sonoma County.”
