OUR MISSION

The Women’s Giving Circle is building a community of philanthropists and creating a permanent legacy to address the needs of women and girls in Howard County.​

OUR IMPACT

We have been part of the Howard County community for 20 years, have given $1M+ to our nonprofit partners through
250+ grants. We have a $1.3M endowment from 1,600+ donors that will ensure that there are funds to support women and girls in our community in perpetuity. In 2022 we will give $200K to our nonprofit partners in honor of
​WGC's 20th Anniversary
.

OUR GIVING CIRCLE

The WGC is a giving circle - a collective giving effort where we are pooling our dollars so we can have a greater impact together than we might otherwise have alone. We are proud to be among the thousands of giving circles across the country that have given millions of dollars to have an impact on a wide variety of issues.
