Description
The Anacortes Women's Giving Circle supports worthy causes and important projects that benefit the Anacortes-area community. In partnership with Skagit Community Foundation, the Circle brings together community-minded women of all ages and diverse backgrounds to pool their contributions for local nonprofit work. Its goals include demonstrating kindness in action, life-affirming generosity, and a model for supporting community improvements.
The Circle raises a pool of funds each year to support initiatives aligned with a theme chosen by its members.
