Happy Galentine's Day!

Galentine's Day is the day before Valentines Day, that is dedicated to women celebrating women, and embracing the sisterhood among the women in our lives. 

Today we celebrate all of you.

You are the women engaged in the important work of the WGC that supports women and girls in our community throughout the year. I talk to women frequently who are excited to be a part of the Women's Giving Circle and want to get a bit more engaged in our efforts.

Here are 3 ways to get involved in the WGC today:

1. WGC's March 6, 2024 Annual Celebration - We are excited to host our 2024 Annual Celebration & Pink Party on Wednesday, March 6 from 5:30 - 7:30 at Howard Community College. Join us to discuss "How Philanthropy Can Support Women's Rights" and to hear about the latest WGC efforts. Learn more and sponsor and/or buy tickets here

2. WGC's 2024 Sponsorship Opportunities - It takes a special individual, organization or business to understand the value of investing in women and girls by sponsoring the WGC throughout 2024! Sponsorship includes tickets to our signature event: WGC's Annual Celebration & Pink Party on March 6, 2024 and recognition at other WGC events throughout the year. Learn more and sponsor here

3. WGC's 2024 Big Give - The Big Give 2024 is designed for women who want to learn more about grantmaking to women and girls in our community and will be a fun, fast-paced, "pop-up" giving circle learning and giving experience. Learn more and sign-up here

And, we have multiple ongoing opportunities to get involved in the WGC throughout the year including giving a gift today to the WGC this Galentines/Valentines Day "In Her Honor", supporting the WGC's Feminine Hygiene Product Drive, the WGC Emergency Response Network, and the WGC's "Our Giving, Our Stories" profile series. These opportunities to get involved in the Women's Giving Circle all support women and girls in Howard County. 

This, is the power of a giving circle.

Please contact WGC Executive Director Buffy Beaudoin-Schwartz with any questions and sign up to join us below.

Looking forward to seeing you on March 6!
