Who we are

Mother and Daughters Club Assisting Philanthropies

The purpose of MADCAPS is to involve mothers and daughters in direct service to and support of established philanthropic organizations. To further this purpose, mothers will actively nurture the training of their daughters in philanthropic commitments, teaching personal responsibility, as well as responsibility to the needs of others, so that all members may fully realize the benefits of involvement in the community.

Message From Our President

I am honored to be your MADCAPS Board President for 2025-2026. One of our goals this year is to streamline roles and responsibilities to make it easier for our organization to learn more about the philanthropies we serve through our volunteer work. In addition, we look forward to welcoming the newest Class of 2031 to their first full year of MADCAPS.
Each year we kick off our Season of Service, empowering every junior member to volunteer by supporting our local communities. Senior members also have the opportunity to volunteer for the Class of 2031, 2030 and 2029. Junior members will be encouraged to share their experiences with each other at the September meeting.
I am excited to lead this amazing group of members and continue to be amazed at the talent, integrity, and support within the organization. I hope that each of you learn something new this year.
Thank you and warm regards,
Please speak up and reach out with any questions, concerns, new volunteer opportunities, and ideas on how to continue to make MADCAPS amazing for our communities and membership.

Voices from Our Members

Being part of MADCAPS has shown my daughter that service isn't something you do for a résumé — it's who you are. Watching her lead alongside me has been the greatest gift of this experience.
