Connecting Women of NEPA Who Want to Give Back
from Uncorked with Funny Wine Girl · host Jeannine Luby
The word "philanthropy" or "philanthropic" often conjures up images of black tie events, limos, and the naming of buildings but that notion--along with all remaining glass ceilings--needs to be shattered. This week on my podcast I talk with Laura Ducceschi , president and CEO of The Scranton Area Community Foundation, about what philanthropy looks like for, by, and of women and how the Foundation is helping to connect women through its Women in Philanthropy program. We talk about how women can invest time and talent when monetary gifts may not be an available option and the value that networking with other women has. We also take a broader look at some of the other initiatives the Foundation is working on to enrich the region of northeastern Pennsylvania through programs and resources to help nonprofits and so much more. Learn about the upcoming conference for nonprofits in September, how to donate to a fund (like The Humor Therapy Fund) and much more at the Foundation's website. If you would like to continue hearing conversations like this one, please consider investing in this podcast developed to promote fabulous women each week who uncork with me, sharing information, inspiration and entertainment, through an investment at my Buy Me A Coffee page. If a monetary contribution is not in your budget at the moment, you can also show support by writing a review/testimonial of this podcast; sharing the podcast on your socials; or telling a friend or foe to check it out. Follow me at Funny Wine Girl Jeannine on Facebook and Instagram as well as Laugh to Live! on Facebook for uplifting content, funnies, nature photos and more. As always, remember that I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart and the bottom of my wine glass.
