ABOUT US The W.O.W.S.E. Foundation was the brainchild of principal agent Brian Rice. Brian and several of his business and social peers wanted to make a difference in the lives of underprivileged children through implementing local fundraisers.

Through much discussion and research they decided to form the W.O.W.S.E. Foundation (With or Without Someone Else,) and have more direct impact and involvement in where and how their money was being allocated.

The Foundation has trustees that provide legal, accounting and fundraising support. The goal of the Foundation is to hold several fundraising events throughout the year, develop a direct mail campaign for individual giving and invite corporations to support the foundation by sponsoring our events and providing philanthropic gifts.

A grant application process will be in place at the end of the year for organizations that support the mission of the W.O.W.S.E. Foundation. A committee will review all applications and make a decision based on individual grant guidelines.

The W.O.W.S.E. Foundation will develop a system to track approved organizations and the W.O.W.S.E. funded programs. The "best" practices from each funded program will be made available to all non-profits.
