Description
The Women’s Circle of Friends Grants, managed by the Henry County Community Foundation, is a giving circle that enables women in the community to collectively support local nonprofit initiatives. Members pool their contributions (minimum $50 per member) and, through an annual grantmaking gala, vote to award the pooled funds to a Henry County 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The program is designed to foster collaboration, community engagement, and direct impact for local organizations. Finalists present their projects at the gala, and the grant is awarded based on a vote by the Circle’s members.
