Mission
“Through collective giving and collaboration, The Baltimore Women’s Giving Circle supports organizations that advance opportunities for women and their families in Baltimore City and Baltimore County.”
Funding Information
Grants are awarded in amounts of $25,000 or less. Awards are made for a one-year grant beginning on July 1 of the award year and ending on June 30 of the following year. All grant funds must be expended during this time period. Grant monies may be used only for the purpose stated in the grant application. If a funded project needs to be revised, for example, many organizations needed to adapt during the COVID pandemic, the grantee organizations should reach out to the BWGC and request approval of the changes. If grant funds are not spent by the end of the one-year grant period, the remaining balance must be returned to the BWGC, unless an extension has been requested and approved by the BWGC. If a project is discontinued during the grant period, unexpended funds must be returned to the BWGC.
