The Zonta Club of Harrisburg-Hershey puts forth a large amount of effort each year raising funds to provide thousands of dollars in service grants to worthy organizations in the community, and to contribute to the International good.
Many thanks to our members and friends who continue to support our fundraising efforts. Now comes the fun part of giving it all away! Grant applications will be accepted in January, and scholarship applications will be accepted later in the spring.
Since the Club's inception in 1980, more than $106,000.00 has been donated to local agencies such as:
- Shalom House
- Domestic Violence Services of Cumberland & Perry Counties
- New Hope Ministries
- Carlisle YWCA and the Tech Girlz and Girlz Camp programs
- Greater Harrisburg YWCA
- the Maternal Assistance Program at Holy Spirit Hospital
- Bethesda Mission
- Promise Place Capital Region
- Dauphin County Witness/Victims Assistance Program
- Family Support of Central PA
Each year, we provide funding for two academic scholarships for local women:
- $500 Young Women in Public Affairs Award, and
- $500 Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarship.
The Zonta Club of Harrisburg-Hershey contributes over $3000 annually to Zonta International for efforts that support our global mission.
The Club membership selects fund raising projects for each year. Members work collaboratively to make the projects successful. Links to the most current projects can be found on the left side of this page.
