Coming together for Moffat County "When I heard about the idea of 100 women giving $100, I knew we needed something like this in Moffat County. Many people grow weary of donating because they don't really know where their money goes. By providing grants for tangible, hands-on community improvement projects, and giving members a say in who gets the money, I truly believe that Women for Moffat County will have a HUGE impact on improving our community. Local women can come together with a small donation to make a profound difference! I am so proud to be working with amazing locals to get great ideas funded and on the ground. Our board consists of savvy, smart women who know the value of a dollar. ” President and Co-founder, Kacey Green  |
