WGC's Impact 2024 Campaign

Impact 2024 is WGC’s five-year, $500,000 fundraising effort and focus on diversity, equity and inclusion for women in Howard County, that was launched in July 2019.

We are fundraising to build on our past and enhance our future by increasing our grantmaking to programs that benefit women and girls, as well as strengthening our infrastructure to grow the circle. And, we are enhancing our core values to better meet our mission by implementing a diversity, equity and inclusion lens to all of our work.

What is the WGC doing as part of Impact 2024?

• Give More Grants: $475,000 – We will increase our ability to give larger, multi-year grants to more of our nonprofit partners that share our goals.
• Strengthen Our Infrastructure: $25,000 - We will strengthen our infrastructure to build the WGC for the future.
• Focus on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion – We will enhance our core values to better enhance our mission by implementing a diversity, equity and inclusion lens throughout every aspect of the work WGC does.

How will the WGC do it?
 
By raising $500,000 in the next 5 years to focus on giving more grants, strengthening our infrastructure, and focusing on diversity, equity and inclusion for women in Howard County. We are seeking financial investment through 5-year pledges by at least 70 women.
