What a fantastic evening we had mingling together at our annual wine tasting event! Thanks to the lovely Albertsons wine associate, Angela Baron, and her wonderful colleagues, Chase Hamilton and Genevieve Waldman, we enjoyed a memorable time sipping and enjoying conversations. For four wonderful years, they have made this event a looked-forward-to tradition! 🍷🍃

Mike Hoover, Acting Executive Director of the Sawtooth Society, had us leaning in with his energetic and engaging presentation, along with Michael Coiner, Operations Director, entertaining us with their interactive map of the Sawtooth National Recreational Area. It was an informative presentation about the vital work of the Sawtooth Society and how our grant funds will be utilized. Their enthusiasm had us engaged and inspired.🥾🌲👏🏼

A special shoutout to Mimi Ford from Topnotch, who greeted us warmly while handing out generous 20% discount cards to all attendees. We are incredibly grateful to her and owner Adrienne Heyser, a proud WRWF member, for making our evening extra special at their beautiful showroom! 🍃⭐️

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this festive and educational evening! And a special thank you to the WRWF Meet & Mingle team; your efforts don’t go unnoticed. 🍃💕

🍃In early April, we were thrilled to announce a new year of community investment with the results of our 2026 grants cycle! Thanks to the generosity of all our members, and hard work of our Grants team volunteers, WRWF awarded a total of $315,944 to local nonprofits this year, supporting a range of causes that includes healthcare access, food security, education, and outdoor recreation. This year’s funding also included several first-time Grantees, reflecting WRWF’s growing impact and reach across the entire Wood River Valley.

PLANNING FOR OUR FUTURE

For two decades, the Wood River Women’s Foundation has been defined by the power of women’s collective giving. As we look toward our next chapter, the WRWF Board has been focused on one central goal: ensuring our long-term sustainability while growing our community impact. To achieve this, we need both an engaged, growing membership and a financially strong organization.

HELP WRWF GROW!

This year, the Wood River Women’s Foundation is celebrating you! We declared 2026 the “Year of the Member” — an opportunity to strengthen and expand the incredible community of women who make our impact possible.

Please WELCOME new member— Rosmery Serva Boyle! 🍃⭐️

We are thrilled to have her joining the team of Wood River Women’s Foundation members. Her passionate, caring and inspiring spirit is a gift in our community!

“I am honored to join the Wood River Women’s Foundation and contribute to an organization that strengthens our community through collective generosity and leadership. My work has always been rooted in service, connection, and bringing people together.

I hold an Associate’s degree in Business and come from a business-oriented family, which shaped my early interest in entrepreneurship. I previously owned and operated a restaurant, an experience that deepened my appreciation for hard work, teamwork, and community support. Today, I serve as a Community Organizing Coordinator, where I collaborate with diverse groups, support local initiatives, and help connect individuals and families with resources that improve quality of life.

I am especially inspired by WRWF’s commitment to empowering women and uplifting the Wood River Valley as a whole. I hope to contribute my experience in community engagement and my passion for service to help further that mission.

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking in the mountains with my husband and our mini Australian Shepherd, Radhi, and spending time outdoors appreciating the beauty of this valley we call home.”

During a visit to the Senior Connection yesterday, one of our WRWF members was touched to see the grant poster proudly displayed at the entrance. Jovita Pina, the executive director, shared her sincere gratitude for the support, expressing her wish for all the seniors to recognize how much the Wood River Women’s Foundation means to their community. 🤩

After a warm and engaging visit, complete with a joyful photo opportunity, everyone left with happy hearts. 💕

It’s worth noting that nonprofit senior living facilities and aging services frequently receive far less philanthropic support compared to other areas within the nonprofit sector. This reality underscores the importance of our collective efforts to ensure that these vital services continue to thrive and support our seniors. 🍃💸
