We are stronger together.

Friends,

One week ago today the 2024 election results were announced, marking a turning point that introduces both challenges and potential new opportunities. As we consider the road ahead, the Women’s Giving Circle of Howard County (WGC) remains dedicated to supporting women and girls in our community, regardless of political shifts.

Here's what we know -  we are stronger together:

• This may be a time of particular concern for women - yet there are also some small victories across the country and here in Maryland, including several historic elections for women on the state and local level.
• The challenges before us are substantial - but so too is our commitment to uplifting and empowering women and girls through collective giving, and we will continue to stand with our partners across the country to support women and girls.
• We remain committed - to engaging women who want to pool our dollars so we can have a greater impact together than we might otherwise have alone.
• Your ongoing partnership and support is critically important - and valued now more than ever as we work together to support our community.
• Together, we will rise to meet the challenges ahead - this is the power of our giving circle.​

Thank you for standing together as we enter this new chapter.
