GREATER KELLER WOMEN’S CLUB FOUNDATION
The Greater Keller Women's Club Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, is the funding arm for the Greater Keller Women's Club. Since it's inception, the Foundation, through the support and volunteerism by members of the Greater Keller Women's Club, has donated more than ONE MILLION dollars to local non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations representing women, children and the elderly within the Northeast Tarrant County area through a grant application and review process, as well as scholarships to graduating Keller ISD seniors.
The annual Garden of Roses fundraiser is the primary source of funding for these grants and scholarships and would not be possible without the sponsorships and donations from individuals and area businesses from Keller, Tarrant County and beyond. GKWC's motto of "Joining Together, Having Fun, and Helping Others" shines through each year as a dedicated group of volunteers with philanthropic hearts for service to the community donate countless hours to host this annual event.
The GKWC Foundation's 2021 Garden of Roses Fundraiser "Gatsby in the Garden" is scheduled for March 6, 2021.
