WGC's "Our Giving, Our Stories!" Series Celebrating Black Philanthropy Month

The Women's Giving Circle of Howard County is proud to continue our support for Black Philanthropy Month (BPM) which is observed every August. The primary aims of BPM are informing, involving, inspiring and investing in Black philanthropic leadership to strengthen African-American and African-descent giving in all its forms, for the benefit of our planet, our communities, our organizations and our lives.

One way we are doing this is through WGC's "Our Giving, Our Stories!" Daily Profile Series each August. On  August 1 and each day in August thereafter, the WGC is sharing daily profiles on our website and social media in celebration of Black Philanthropy Month.

We are currently accepting nominations to profile the giving stories of women in our community for Black Philanthropy Month 2022.  

Click here to nominate women in Howard County who fit the basic criteria outlined on the nomination form. 

​The deadline is July 15, 2022! 

We hope you will join us for our Black Philanthropy Month kick-off happy hour at The 3rd on Monday, August 1 from 5:30 – 7:00 pm. There is no cost to attend this event – please register here.
