Description
The Women’s Giving Circle is a component fund of the Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley. It supports organizations addressing the needs of women and girls across eight counties in West Virginia and Ohio. Its focus includes increasing life skills through pre-K–12 education, economic empowerment, physical and mental health, and work addressing violence and crime.
The program also supports the healthy development and personal authority of young girls and efforts to raise awareness of gender disparities in the community. Funding is directed toward projects rather than general organizational support. An Advisory Committee composed of Women’s Giving Circle members reviews applications and makes funding determinations.
