The Women’s Giving Circle (WGC), a committee of the M&M Area Community Foundation, is accepting grant applications. The WGC funds projects and programs, which address issues directly impacting women and girls throughout Marinette and Menominee Counties.
Applications will be accepted online beginning Monday, July 1st at mmacf.org. The deadline for submitting applications is July 31st at noon. Grants will be awarded on September 19th at the Women’s Giving Circle Grant Award Ceremony and Annual Meeting at UW-Green Bay, Marinette Campus. The event includes refreshments and a presentation of the Queen Marinette Award.
The Women’s Giving Circle began in 2008 when an anonymous donor made a gift to the Foundation to support women’s philanthropy. Since 2009, the Women’s Giving Circle has awarded more than $61,000 to non-profits, schools, churches and government entities.
The Women’s Giving Circle is inclusive and currently lists over 120 members. Its motto is “Empowering the women of today to create a better tomorrow.” For more information on becoming a member, please call the M&M Area Community Foundation at 906-864-3599 or find the Women’s Giving Circle on Facebook.
