WGC is Welcoming 2026 with Purpose & Momentum

As we begin a new year, we are inspired by the power, generosity, and collective leadership that has defined the Women’s Giving Circle of Howard County for the past 24 years.

​Together, our donors, partners, and community have built a strong, vibrant circle rooted in trust and our ongoing commitment to supporting women and girls in Howard County.

Looking ahead to 2026, we are excited to continue strengthening our collective impact - expanding engagement opportunities, deepening our partnerships, supporting meaningful grantmaking, and fostering leadership among women and girls of all ages. 

This year will be one of continued growth and forward momentum for the WGC, guided by collaboration, compassion, and our community’s unwavering belief in the power of women coming together.

One of the highlights of our year will be our WGC Annual Celebration & Pink Party on March 4, 2026 | 5:30–7:30 pm “The Power of WE: Courageous Philanthropy for Complex Times” featuring keynote speaker Hali Lee, author of The Big We: How Giving Circles Unlock Generosity, Strengthen Community, and Make Change.

This inspiring gathering brings together donors, partners, leaders, and friends to celebrate our shared achievements and the future of women’s philanthropy in Howard County.

We invite you to be part of this important work in 2026 by sponsoring or attending the event.

Let’s go!
