About
Background and History
When 52 women with a shared vision of what our region could be started the Giving Circle in 2001, little did they imagine that, by word of mouth, the Circle would soon grow to more than 450 members.
Each member represents a link in an ever-growing chain that enables the Circle to do collectively what none of us could achieve individually. Together, we have invested more than $5.3 million in organizations that focus on promoting self-sufficiency for women and their families in Baltimore City and Baltimore County.
The BWGC is committed to empowering women and their families across Baltimore City and Baltimore County. Read our full mission statement here!
