Description
The Women’s Giving Circle of North Central West Virginia is a component fund of Your Community Foundation of North Central West Virginia (YCF). Guided by the theme “Empowering Women Through Philanthropy,” it supports projects addressing the needs of women and girls in Harrison, Marion, Monongalia, Preston, and Taylor counties in West Virginia.
Projects must advance at least one of the circle’s goals: increasing women’s and girls’ life skills, encouraging the healthy development of girls, or promoting gender equity in the community. Life-skills priorities include education, economic empowerment, physical and mental health, and strategies to prevent violence and crime. Funding is directed toward specific projects rather than an organization’s ongoing operations. Staff time may be supported when it relates directly to the funded project.
