Democratic Women's Club of East Orange

What Democratic Women's Club of East Orange does

The Democratic Women's Club of Florida (DWCF), legally Democratic Women's Club of Florida, Inc., is a Florida-domiciled nonprofit political advocacy organization founded in the 1950s (the 70th Annual Convention in 2026 implies a founding circa 1956). Its mission is to unite women of the Democratic Party, promote the Democratic cause, and encourage full participation of women at every level of the Democratic Party structure. The organization operates a network of local clubs across all 67 Florida counties organized into 13 regions, including named clubs such as DWC of East Orange County, DWC of Palm Beach County, and Capital City Democratic Women's Club. DWCF runs an annual convention (the 70th scheduled for May 14-17, 2026 in Orlando), Tally Days lobbying events in Tallahassee, a Speakers Bureau, a Grassroots Organizing Program, a Legislative Guide, and a Voting & Election Center that links to the Florida Democratic Party Virtual Voter Guide and county Supervisors of Elections.

There is no proprietary technology underlying the organization; its digital footprint consists of a Wix-hosted website (dwcf.org), Facebook, YouTube, and X/Twitter accounts, and standard email communications. The core operating model is volunteer-driven grassroots organizing coordinated through local clubs and elected/appointed officers, with leadership including President Patty Cohn, 2nd Vice President Tobi Schelin, 3rd Vice President - Pro Tem Gwen Scafranski, Treasurer Karen Moser, Recording Secretary Virginia Osborne, Past President Patty Farley, Corresponding Secretary Agnes Lightfoot, Parliamentarian Janet Laimont, and Sergeant at Arms Kathy Bull (the 1st Vice President role is currently vacant).

Revenue is generated through donations processed via ActBlue (secure.actblue.com/donate/dwcf) and merchandise sales through the DWCF Store; no membership dues or pricing is publicly disclosed, and no financial filings are referenced in the input. The mailing address is P.O. Box 500094, Malabar, FL 32950. The organization is affiliated with the National Federation of Democratic Women (NFDW) and maintains formal links to the Florida Democratic Party and Florida Supervisors of Elections, positioning it within the institutional Democratic ecosystem in Florida.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Emerging players

• Indigo Women's Democratic Club: County-level (Palm Beach) Democratic women's club affiliated with DWCF's network; illustrative of the digital-first, smaller-footprint advocacy chapter that could either grow inside or compete with traditional DWCF clubs.

Regional players

• Florida Federation of Republican Women: State-level Florida counterpart to NFRW. Same county/region-based club federation model aimed at the opposing party; structurally and operationally comparable to DWCF.

Direct peers

• National Organization for Women (NOW): National feminist advocacy organization with state chapters that pursue gender equality, legislative advocacy, and voter mobilization — overlapping substantially with DWCF's women-focused Democratic advocacy mission.
• League of Women Voters of Florida: Florida statewide civic engagement and voter-education organization with a comparable membership/grassroots model, voter registration focus, and lobbying footprint. Nonpartisan but functionally overlaps with DWCF's civic participation mission.
• National Federation of Democratic Women (NFDW): DWCF's national affiliate; the parent federation of state Democratic women's clubs with an identical mission, member-driven advocacy model, and annual convention format. Most direct structural and mission peer.
• National Federation of Republican Women: Mirror-image counterpart to NFDW for Republican women. Closely analogous state-club federation structure, convention cadence, and grassroots political organizing model.

Broad incumbents

• EMILY's List: National political action committee dedicated to recruiting, training, and funding pro-choice Democratic women candidates. Operates at a larger scale than DWCF but shares the core mission of advancing Democratic women in politics.
• Florida Democratic Party (FDP): The official state Democratic Party apparatus with which DWCF is affiliated via its Election Center and voter guide partnerships. Operates at broader scope and scale but overlaps significantly on voter mobilization and candidate support.
