Why do we fundraise?
Scholarships
Our Northern Spirit Chapter is passionate about giving our members new opportunities and expanding their horizons. We are proud to offer an annual scholarship, where a deserving individual receives a conference package to the WAI Annual Conference. Conference package includes registration, airfare, hotel and airport transfers.
Free EventsHosting events often comes with a cost. We strive to keep our events free to allow everyone the opportunity to attend and participate. By fundraising we can cover the costs of advertising, venue rental fees and refreshments.

Free Chapter MembershipBy fundraising we are able to waive chapter membership fees for ALL members. There are inherent costs in running a non-profit: administrative costs, annual chapter dues to the parent organization, and promotional material to mention a few. By fundraising we can cover these costs without charging membership dues.
|
Community Outreach EventsOne of our goals each year is to host community outreach events. Unfortunately these events can often come with a hefty price tag. By fundraising we can ensure that we can afford to host these events, events like Girls in Aviation Day, as free events for all participants.
