Since its inception in 2008, the circle has awarded over $1,500,000 to local organizations.

Who Are We?

A network of talented and accomplished women in Northern Nevada who are committed to the following:

  • Championing the welfare, achievement, and advancement of women and children
  • Advocating for and promoting the practice of philanthropy
  • Meeting the financial giving requirements of the Circle 

Core Values

We are informed philanthropists who:

  • promote innovation and collaboration
  • lead with trust and consensus
  • are responsible stewards of time, talent, and treasure
  • practice respect and compassion for all
  • operate with simplicity to focus on impact 

What Do We Do?

The Mission of the Women’s Giving Circle is to research and respond to community needs and pool resources of women philanthropists, encouraging intentional and transformational giving.

Our vision is that women, girls, and families have the knowledge, confidence, and means to thrive.

We typically make targeted, one-time grants, usually payable over three years, in areas we believe will have a significant impact on the well-being of women and children in our community.
