Women’s Giving Circle

The Women’s Giving Circle of the Community Giving Foundation continues to empower, connect, and inspire women and girls through grantmaking that supports programs and resources that better their lives. During their 2025 Annual Meeting, attendees heard moving presentations from four grant finalists representing nonprofits making a big impact. Donors had a difficult decision to make as they voted to award $10,000 grants to The Gate House and Winterspring Sanctuary. AGAPE and the Bloomsburg Children’s Museum each received $500 grants for organizational support. These grants will help advance safety, access, healing, and opportunity for local women and girls—an impactful legacy made possible through this dedicated community of passionate givers.
