WGC is a Fund of the Community Foundation of Howard County

Picture
The Women’s Giving Circle of Howard County is proud to be a fund of the Community Foundation of Howard County, MD (CFHoCo).

CFHoCo President & CEO Beverly White-Seals is on the WGC Advisory Board and CFHoCo Director of Grants and Community Engagement Dee Athey serves as an ex-officio member and professional staff liaison to the WGC Advisory Board. And, WGC Advisory Board members and professional staff work closely with all CFHoCo staff in a variety of capacities including fund and grants management and marketing and communications.

This year, 2022, WGC has been a fund at CFHoCo for for 20 years. With their support and partnership, we will have given $1M+ to our nonprofit partners through 250+ grants, and will have a $1.3M endowment, raised from 1,600+ donors, which will ensure that there are funds to support women and girls in our community in perpetuity. 

WGC and CFHoCo also work closely with the Horizon Foundation and United Way of Central Maryland in numerous ways in order to leverage our collective community outreach, networks, and philanthropic giving, including:

  • In March 2020 we collectively created HoCoRespond. The Women's Giving Circle, Community Foundation of Howard County, Horizon Foundation, and United Way of Central Maryland announced new emergency funds and actions to support community members affected by COVID-19, and established HoCoRespond.com to support Howard County nonprofits on the frontline of support, focusing on assisting with food security, housing, childcare and healthcare. ​To date we have raised over $600,000 and have given a total of $608,500 in HoCoRespond COVID-19 Emergency Funds to Howard County nonprofits.
  • And, in November 2021 Women’s Giving Circle, Community Foundation, Horizon Foundation and United Way of Central Maryland, ignited and recognized new and continued innovation in our community by collectively giving $60,000 through the Changemaker Challenge. Think “Shark Tank” for social change.

We are proud to be a fund of the Community Foundation of Howard County and to continue to grow our strong partnership to best support our community.
