About the Susie Q Fund

The Susie Q. Fund, an initiative by Spirit Sisters of Sonoma County, is dedicated to providing seasonal support for women in our community.

​

We recognize that the holiday season can bring both joy and challenges, especially for those facing financial or personal hardships. Through this special fund, we are committed to making this time of year a little brighter for those women.

​​

In 2023, thanks to the generosity of our community, we raised $800. This allowed us to distribute $100 evenly to all eight deserving women who were nominated by those who know them best. 

​

In 2024 we held a silent auction for where all funds raised went to women nominated for the Susie Q fund. Between silent auction earnings and additional charitable donations, we raised $1,200 that was equally distributed to six women of our community. 

​

The Susie Q fund is named for the beloved Aunt of one of the Spirit Sisters founding visionary members. It aims to uplift and bring holiday cheer to women who may be feeling the weight of the season.

​

This fund is more than financial assistance—it's a testament to the love and solidarity of our Spirit Sisters Community. Together, we can make a profound difference in the lives of those who need it most.

2023 Susie Q Fund Recipient 

“Last year I received one of the donations. I was going through and extremely hard transition that led to a much more beautiful life. I found myself moving, transitioning jobs and pushed to the limit of financial ruin. 

 

The gracious donation amount gave me enough to push through until my next unemployment check. My gas light was on when I picked it up and I had nothing special for Christmas dinner. In a moment when I felt so utterly alone and hopeless I was surprised to find such sweet support.  I cried tears of joy and faith in sisterhood when I opened the envelope. 

 

This year (2024) I want to give back hoping the next sister will feel the love and support that I did through this magical sisterhood.”
