Third Party Fundraising
SOWINS encourages special fundraising events and campaigns that you carry out to benefit the work of our organization – this is what we call a third party event/campaign. We have an event guide and application form for this type of event.
We want to help you in any way we can. We must also exercise care to ensure that your event falls within our organizational and legal guidelines. This guidebook was created to support you with your project as well as to help you understand our needs around third party events.
Important – If you would like to host a fundraising event to benefit SOWINS, we ask that a Third Party Agreement be completed and submitted to us prior to starting to work on the event or campaign. This allows us to be aware of your plans and to know how best we can assist you.
Make an Impact! Help us end violence against women and take a stand – your own way.
If you have any questions about hosting an event to benefit SOWINS, please contact (250) 493-4366 or fundraising@sowins.com

You can help by becoming a member of SOWINS. Members support us as we work to prevent abuse and increase awareness about the impacts of abuse, and strive to make our community a safer and healthier place for all. Membership is only $10 per year.

Volunteering with SOWINS is a rewarding opportunity to make a direct, positive impact on the lives of women and children in the South Okanagan. We are on the lookout for community members in good standing who respect the confidential and sensitive nature of the work we do.
