We have had a banner year!!!
Thanks to the amazing generosity of our donors, along with proceeds from the 2025 Nearly New Sale, we have had a banner fundraising year. As a result, we have been able to give back to the Norwich community in the following ways:
​
$38,000 distributed in post-secondary education scholarships to Norwich residents for the 2026-2027 academic year (scholarships are based on financial need, and administered through VSAC).
​
$19,000 distributed in Community Project Grants to non-profit organizations for projects in 2026-2027 that will impact Norwich and its residents.
​
$20,000 special donation to the Grange restoration project. This is on top of a $4,000 Community Project Grant awarded to the Grange for 2026-2027. The timing of the special donation is such that it helps with a matching grant for the Grange.
​
We could not have been this generous without the help of all of our donors, Nearly New Sale shoppers, and ALL the Club members and volunteers who have worked on these fundraising efforts over the last year. On behalf of the Norwich Women's Club Board of Directors, you have our deepest gratitude.

Community Project Grants
2026-2027
Many thanks to the organizations that applied for a Community Project Grant for the 2026-2027 grant cycle. The committee met on April 16 to review applications and determine grant allotments for the upcoming year. We have awarded grants to 12 local organizations for projects that will have an impact on Norwich and its residents. The list of awardees is on our Community Project Grants page.
​
Groups who may have missed the April 15 deadline for applying may now apply for an Off-Cycle Community Project Grant for 2026-2027. We have limited funds for these and need to consider requests we may receive in the next 11 months when reviewing such applications.
