IMPACT NORWICH 2026
Discover the story behind IMPACT NORWICH, our annual fundraising appeal to raise money to benefit our town of Norwich, VT.​
Founded in 1907 as the Women’s Literary Club of Norwich, the Norwich Women's Club (NWC) has over 118 years of history supporting the community. The NWC promotes civic and charitable projects, including contributing over $800,000 since 1964 for funding need-based education scholarships for local students through initiatives like the Nearly New Sale and the IMPACT NORWICH Annual Appeal.
​
Our prior fundraising events and Annual Appeal have also provided funds for community project grants for local non-profit agencies that impact Norwich residents.
Now it’s time to ask you to IMPACT NORWICH again with our second Annual Appeal. 100% of your contributions provide community project grants, and education scholarships for Norwich students.
The NWC’s need-based scholarship program for post-secondary education, administered by the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC), is one of Vermont’s largest.
We have:
Awarded more than $800,000 to hundreds of Norwich students since 1964.
Made awards towards college, postgraduate, and vocational education.
Funded $26,000 in scholarship awards last year alone!
In addition, hundreds of community projects have been made possible through NWC grants. We have:
Supported the Norwich Grange capital campaign kitchen project
Helped the Norwich Recreation Department upgrade the Huntley Meadow water fountain
Aided the Norwich Conservation Commission’s amphibian rescue team
Please help us continue this important work in 2026 by supporting IMPACT NORWICH!
