For the period of July 2022 through June 2025, the Club will focus its charitable efforts in the area of the environment.
The AIWCC is proud to support innatura gGmbH
Our local charity was proposed by two board members, Robin Goldsby and Kathy McMillan Wilhelm. After discussion with both the leadership and charities teams, we agreed to select innatura as our local charitable organization because of their environmental commitment and the positive experience we had working with them to provide support to the incoming Ukrainian refugees. We were fortunate that Dr. Juliane Kronen, founder and Executive Director of innatura, was able to come and speak at our Annual General Meeting in June. She detailed the unique and critical role they play in keeping waste (in this case, unsellable but perfectly useable products) from finding its way into landfills by offering numerous products to German organizations working in the social sector at greatly reduced cost.
The AIWCC is proud to support the FAWCO Target Program; the new Target Project will be announced in March of 2023 at the FAWCO Biennial Conference in Bratislava, Slovakia.
Raising Funds
The Club raises funds throughout the year. In recent years, our main charity events have been the Sustainable Fashion Bash and Trivia Night. Prior to that, the Club held formal galas, benefit concerts, a Christmas bazaar, wine tastings and auctions (handbags anyone?). The past couple of years, fundraising efforts have been hindered due to COVID restrictions. Bearing in mind that not all fundraising has to be a major event, we have utilized smaller initiatives such as raffles, individual donations, AmazonSmile and much more to continue to raise funds. Follow us here as we report our fundraising achievements from July 2022 through June 2025. To date we have raised
