Dear WGC Donors and Friends,
At this month’s WGC Advisory Board meeting (pictured) some of our board gathered to reflect on the year, and plan for 2019. What we discussed is that we’ve had a year full of impact and meaning, and it’s because of you. We brought people together with common interests to learn about issues impacting our community and to fund programs that benefit women and girls in Howard County. READ THE FULL ENEWSLETTER HERE How did we do this?
We’ve been part of the Howard County community for over 17 years, have raised over $1 million to support our efforts from over 1,000 donors, and have given over 100 grants to nonprofits that support women and girls in our community. And we’ve done all this together – as a Giving Circle. It takes all of us investing our time, talent, and financial resources in various ways to ensure we are having an impact. Learn more here I hope our 2018 efforts have inspired you as much as it has all of us – it fuels us to continue working together to support women and girls in our community as we look to 2019. Perhaps, it’s needed now more than ever. Please give to the WGC during this giving season – we can’t do it without you. Thank you! Barb Van Winkle, WGC Chair WGCChair@womensgivingcircle.org

Dear WGC Friends and Supporters, We’ve had a year of impact and meaning, and it’s because of you. We brought people together with common interests to learn about issues impacting our community and to fund programs that benefit women and girls in Howard County. How did we do this?

Barb Van Winkle WGC Chair We had a great tour of the Undesign the Redline exhibit hosted by the Howard County Library System at the Central Branch.
It was great to have so many WGC donors and supporters join us at this interactive exhibit that explores the history of structural racism and classism, how these designs compounded each other from redlining maps until today, and how we can come together to undesign these systems with intentionality. Many thanks to our tour guides – former WGC Advisory Board member Maura Cleary Dunnigan and Tina Sheets Horn. We highly encourage everyone to visit this exhibit! |
