Description
The Women’s Giving Circle at Community Giving Foundation supports programs and projects that positively change the lives of women and girls. Its geographic focus includes Columbia, Lower-Luzerne, Montour, Northumberland, Snyder, and Union Counties in Pennsylvania. Proposals must address women’s or girls’ needs in line with the Circle’s mission and focus on one program or project.
The Circle favors clearly explained proposals with measurable goals, an evaluation process that promotes best practices, and plans to sustain positive outcomes. It also values collaboration and work that does not duplicate services already provided by other community organizations. A Steering Committee reviews applications, and four finalists present their requests at the Women’s Giving Circle Annual Event, where donors vote to distribute the awards.
