Description
The Baltimore Women’s Giving Circle, administered through the Baltimore Community Foundation (BCF), supports programs that promote self-sufficiency for women and their families. Its geographic focus is Baltimore City and Baltimore County, and funded programs must primarily serve women and families living in these communities. Organizations headquartered elsewhere may apply when their programs benefit residents of the region.
BCF’s broader grantmaking approach emphasizes work that reflects the expressed needs of the community and demonstrates a connection to the people served. Its general application guidance asks applicants to explain the community need, the population served, the intended impact, and how success will be measured. The Women’s Giving Circle’s specific focus remains self-sufficiency for women and their families.
