Philanthropy Overview

One of the many benefits of being a Neptunian Woman’s Club member is that there are diverse opportunities to become involved in the club and to volunteer to support charities when you have the time and availability. The NWC makes it easy to give back. If you’re interested in any of these Philanthropic events, please contact Susan Howard at .

EDUCATION

Each spring, a year full of efforts to raise money for the Neptunian Woman’s Club Scholarship Fund comes to life when students in need, from Mira Costa High School, compete for scholarships to pursue their education. Recipients receive their awards in May for the upcoming school year.

MONTHLY IN-KIND PHILANTHROPY

Every month at our business luncheon, the Neptunian Woman’s Club collects in-kind donations to help a local South Bay organization. This has included food to help low income families, toiletries to help the homeless, supplies for the LAX USO, and stuffed animals to comfort children, who are experiencing difficult times.

Our largest in-kind program occurs every December when we partner with a local non-profit to make the holidays a little more special for children by supplying gifts they may otherwise not receive.

OUTREACH OPPORTUNITIES

Year round Neptunians can be found around the South Bay volunteering for various events. We have volunteered at Best of Manhattan Beach, the Fire Department Chili Cook Off, Bite At the Beach, Hermosa Beach Historical Society Gala, the Wine Garden at the Manhattan Beach Hometown Fair, Hammitt Tent events, Manhattan Beach Fireworks Night, Santa’s Float, Walk with Sally, Richstone Center, and many more events! Please look for our volunteer opportunities that are listed in our monthly newsletter.

SPECIAL TALENTS

Throughout the year members are busy creating caps for babies in the hospital, turbans for chemotherapy patients, and scarves for women in shelters who have suffered domestic violence and quilts and pillowcases for children in hospitals. If you can sew, crochet or knit, please contact to be a part of the team.

Since 2014, the Neptunian Woman’s Club has donated over $125,000 in-kind and financial donations and spent countless hours volunteering and supporting the organizations below.
