Outreach Charities

The UPWC funds a minimum of two (2) charities each year for a period of two (2) consecutive years. If the Outreach Committee feels a charity deserves an additional year of support, they may request that the Board of Directors allow an additional year.

Any UPWC member may suggest a charity that serves our local area for consideration in future outreach funding. The Outreach Committee considers many factors, including whether there are volunteer opportunities for members, whether it is a new effort requiring initial funding, and response to current community needs.

We have supported a variety of organizations through the years, including HOPE Family Services, the Just for Girls Academy, SPARCC (Safe Place and Rape Crisis Center), Mothers Helping Mothers, PACE (Practical Academic Cultural Education), Manatee Children’s Services, Food Bank of Manatee, Children’s Guardian Fund, Habitat for Humanity, and many others. More than $100,000 plus numerous volunteer hours have been contributed to these charities in our first twenty years. 

We are supporting two charities for the current membership year: the Women's Resource Center, and a first of its kind charity in Manatee County, Police Gift Cards, which Bradenton Police officers will use to help citizens in immediate need by providing $25 Publix gift cards.

All monies raised for a specific charity in a specific fiscal year are awarded to the charity in that same fiscal year.


The University Park Women’s Club is an all volunteer organization independent of the University Park Community Association and the University Park Country Club.  Please note that UPWC regularly posts pictures on our website taken at our public events.
