CREATING A BETTER WORLD THROUGH WOMEN’S GIVING CIRCLES

Imagine if you and your circle of family and friends could tackle some of the difficult problems women have worldwide: poverty, hunger, quality education, healthy lives, and gender equality? These goals are the top five of seventeen of the United nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted February, 2018 at the North American Community Foundations Summit, as ways to address and change the problems of the world. They are applicable to every country in the world as ways to work to improve the quality of life for everyone, everywhere. But the goals require local action to achieve them, and that’s what women’s giving circles help bring about. They help women put their money, (their philanthropy), where their values are, and greatly effect social changes to shape the future.

Giving Circles and the causes they support have developed from a few hundred in the U.S, twenty years ago to over 1,500, mainly composed of women. These circles have raised $1.2 billion dollars and continue to grow. Women love giving circles and you will as well. This is what Women’s Giving Circles International (WGCI) is all about. Helping to expand women’s giving circles worldwide.

Sondra Shaw Hardy is a recognized expert in women’s philanthropy, a trailblazer for women’s giving circles, and a woman who has walked the talk by boldly shaping a better world. —Buffy Beaudoin-Schwartz, Executive Director at Women’s Giving Circle of Howard County
