PROGRAM
Laura Pennington - Community Purse
The organization has four chapters and raised $375,000 through a giving circle. It started in Lake County, IL.
5 years ago, Laura and her husband moved to Lake Mills after owning Bartels Landing for 27 years. She started a chapter of community purse in Lake Mills. They have supported 25 charities in the last 5 years raising $30,000. They have 4 meetings per quarter and have membership fees of $50 per quarter. The money raised is given to local 501c3s.
They have been looking for startup charities in particular who are in need of donations to get going.
They are actively looking for women to join their organization.
They are not a 501c3 but have a National Christian Foundation process their payments.
They need memberships, awareness of their organization, and donations for their reserves.
