WGC Emergency Response Network Request – $1,000 – We Did It!

WGC Emergency Response Network Request – We Did It! Many thanks to everyone who took action today and donated to help a woman in need in our community. We asked, and you, our network of women philanthropists, responded – and we quickly raised $1,000! Thank you all! #WGCERN

EARLIER REQUEST:

The Women’s Giving Circle of Howard County has received the following request to help with an immediate need in the community through our Emergency Response Network (ERN) – can you lend a hand?

Our partners at the Howard County Autism Society are requesting $1,000 in assistance for a client in need of respite supports. She is a single mother with a disability who has three children with disabilities (one of them with autism).

On behalf of our partners at the Howard County Autism Society we are asking for $1,000 from the Emergency Response Network to help support this mother in need. Can you lend a hand?​

WGC will pool your contributions and send the funds directly to the nonprofit. We will only accept enough funds to cover this request.

The WGC Emergency Response Network was created to provide an opportunity for WGC donors to directly help women in need. When our nonprofit partners are working with a woman or girl with an immediate need, they submit a request to the WGC.

Emergency Response Network Requests:

• Come from one of our pre-determined nonprofit partners.
• Are for immediate needs up to $1,000.
• Provide assistance to women and girls in Howard County.

Thank you for your support of women and girls in our community through the WGC’s Emergency Response Network (ERN). We are making a bigger difference together than we might otherwise be able to alone – the reason for our giving circle!
