Texas Women In Business

What Texas Women In Business does

Texas Women In Business (TWIB) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization founded in 2010 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, that provides networking, education, leadership development, and philanthropy programs for professional women in business. The organization operates four chapters across Texas — Austin (primary), Lubbock, Bryan/College Station, and San Antonio — and is governed entirely by an unpaid volunteer executive board and committee directors covering Ambassadors, Education, Events, Membership, Marketing, Philanthropy, and Sponsorship functions.

The organization generates revenue through a four-tier annual membership structure (Individual $150, Non-Profit $100, Gold $500, Platinum $1,000), event sponsorships ($200–$300 for monthly luncheons, $150 for quarterly Lunch & Learns, $100 for vendor tables), and pass-through charitable donations distributed quarterly to nonprofit grant recipients such as Jeremiah Program Austin. Monthly luncheons draw 50–60 attendees and quarterly workshops draw 20–25. A New Beginnings Program offers reduced fees to women-owned businesses less than 12 months old. The underlying technology footprint is minimal: a Squarespace website, PayPal for donation processing, Google Forms for applications, Google Sheets for a member ticket exchange, and PhotoCircle for event photo sharing — there are no proprietary platforms, AI capabilities, or paid technology staff.

Revenue model

1. Membership Dues: Annual membership fees provide the primary revenue stream. Four tier levels generate recurring subscription revenue: Individual ($150/year), Non-Profit ($100/year), Gold ($500/year), and Platinum ($1000/year).
2. Event Sponsorships: Monthly luncheon sponsorships ($200 members, $300 non-members) and quarterly lunch & learn workshops ($150 members only) provide additional revenue. Vendor table rentals at luncheons ($100) offer supplementary income.
3. Philanthropic Donations: Donations collected through PayPal (minus 2.2% + $0.30 processing fees) are passed through to grant recipients quarterly. While not revenue-generating, donations support the organization's philanthropic mission and community standing.
