WGC's Big Give 2024 Donors Award $20K to 3 Nonprofit Partners!

What a night at the WGC's Big Give 2024!

The WGC's Big Give 2024 was a fun, meaningful, fast-paced giving circle learning, connecting, and giving experience, where 53 women collectively gave $20,000 together to three nonprofit partners: Columbia Housing Center, Grassroots, and Tuerk House. 

• Columbia Housing Center's $10,000 grant will support the Vouchers to Keys program providing support to female lead household in their effort to obtain housing with their HoCo Housing Choice Voucher.​
• Grassroots Crisis Intervention's $6,000 grant will support the transportation assistance program for female Grassroot Crisis Intervention Services clients.
• Tuerk House's $4,000 grant will support the programing and operational costs at the new female Howard County Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Facility.

The WGC's Big Give 2024 is designed for women who want to learn more about grantmaking to women and girls in our community in a fast-paced, hands-on giving experience. Read about the WGC's Big Give 2024 Kick Off meeting on May 10, 2024.
