WGC Grants
|
The WGC is a fund that gives grants … it’s what we do!
In 2021 we gave over $110,000+ to our nonprofit partners in Howard County. Learn about our new grant partnership with The 3rd and The Highland Project. See our list of 2021 grantee partners here. |
In 2020, the WGC gave a total of $124,000+ to our nonprofit partners in Howard County. We gave $29,550 as part of our planned grants to programs that benefit women and girls, $44,500 through our Emergency Response Network, and $50,000 through our HoCoRespond partnership.
"We are proud to support our nonprofit partners on the ground focusing on women, girls, and families in our community."
- Candace Dodson-Reed & Alison Canning, 2022 WGC Grants Committee Co-Chairs |
The WGC’s grant focus is on programs that increase the life skills of women and girls, encourage the healthy development and personal authority of young girls and raise the awareness of gender disparities in our community.
- WGC does not accept grant proposals. Instead, WGC has a Grants Committee that provides a proposed slate of grants each year that is voted on by the WGC Advisory Board after identifying projects and programs we want to invest in for maximum impact.
- WGC works in partnership with nonprofit organizations and other organizations to advance its mission and address the needs of women and girls, as well as making grants to fund programs.
- Education-based philanthropy is the cornerstone of the WGC’s grantmaking, thus WGC sponsors and co-sponsors programs, events and activities that advance understanding of the issues affecting women and girls in Howard County.
