Women's Giving Circle

The Women’s Giving Circle is all about women coming together to pool resources and support impactful nonprofits. In 2024, we awarded $10,000 in grants to seven exceptional organizations making a difference in our community:

​

We are so grateful for your support and participation in WGC.  You helped make a difference in our community. Together, we’ve achieved incredible milestones—and now we need your continued support to keep the momentum going and reach even greater heights. We hope you are meeting new friends and enjoying the gatherings too. To streamline our group, we are asking for members to renew as soon as possible for 2025.  Included is a statement with the last WGC gift from you.  Membership is for one year, so please note, if your gift was later in the year of 2024, no worries, we are just reaching out to everyone so that we can keep track better.

Here are the organizations that shared the pool of gifts from 2024:

​​

• A Place to Call Home

1. Membership Fee Remains the Same ($100 = 1-Vote for Gifts)
   The annual membership of $100 will remain unchanged, with 100% of your contribution going directly toward the community pooled dollars we will gift in December. Your generosity makes a lasting impact!

2. Optional Additional Support for Gatherings
   To help with the expenses of our gatherings, we’re introducing an optional ask of $25 or more. While not required, these contributions will help cover event costs and further sustain our gatherings. As always, the Community Foundation of West Texas appreciates any additional support for its day-to-day operations.

3. Introducing the WGC Endowment Fund
   Thanks to the incredible success of 2024, we are proud to announce the creation of the Women’s Giving Circle Acorn Endowment! This fund will one day sustain our gifts and gatherings, ensuring a legacy of generosity and community impact.
