Women’s Giving Circle

The Women’s Giving Circle of the Community Giving Foundation is a membership-driven group that empowers, connects, and inspires women and girls by supporting initiatives and resources that better their lives. With several levels of giving available, members pool donations together to create a larger impact across the region. Learn more at csgiving.org/womens-giving-circle.

Four grant finalists presented their proposals during the Women's Giving Circle 2024 annual meeting in July. Taking an active role in the grant making process, members cast their vote to decide final grant awards. Beyond Violence and Dwell Orphan Care received $10,000 each to support their initiatives in our region. Central Susquehanna Opportunities, Inc. and Bloomsburg Children's Museum each received $500 for general organization support.
