WGC’s events support our mission of creating a community of philanthropists and are designed for women around the issues we focus on through our membership and development. We bring women together to learn about issues impacting women and girls in our community, and pool our dollars to fund programs that address those issues so we can have a greater impact together than we might otherwise have alone.
The WGC hosts events that fall under four categories:

- Giving: We engage women, and at times their families, in opportunities to give to the community in a variety of ways.
