Members gathered at Fall 2023 meeting

Women Empowering Women through
Philanthropy

The mission is to build a community of thoughtful, effective women philanthropists and create a legacy to address the needs of women and girls in North Central West Virginia.
The goals are to:

  • Expand philanthropy and increase giving by local women,
  • Increase the life skills of women and girls,
  • Encourage the healthy development and personal
    authority of young girls,
  • Sustain the Women’s Giving Circle for future generations,
    and
  • Build a permanent endowment fund.

Membership is open to all women who wish to further the mission and goals through financial support. In our tenth year of operation, our numbers have grown to 60 members with a
committee structure in place for our marketing, membership and grant-making. A tiered giving structure is intended to encourage membership by younger women in the community.
