Women's Giving Circle 2025 grant cycle is open

The Women’s Giving Circle's 2025 grant cycle is open. All applications must be submitted through the online grants portal. Grant applications to the Women’s Giving Circle are due to the Community Foundation of Dunn County by 4 PM on June 1.

The Women’s Giving Circle of Dunn County has been established to strengthen the spirit of women and children through collaborative philanthropy, giving, and granting. The WGC strives to empower women to become stronger and self-sufficient in order to improve the quality of their lives and the lives of the people for whom they are responsible. The idea isn’t new. There are many Giving Circles around the country. Women raise funds that are used to help alleviate some of the struggles and obstacles that women and children face during difficult times in their lives.

The mission of the Women’s Giving Circle (WGC) is to gather contributions and make social investments in projects and initiatives that improve the lives of women and children in the Dunn County area.

The WGC will accomplish its Mission through:

• Grant making programs that support women and children

• Forging new relationships and building a community of thoughtful, effective women philanthropists who are diverse in age, interests, and backgrounds

• Engaging and educating women about issues affecting women and children in the community, philanthropy, and grant-making

• Building the power of collective philanthropy throughout the greater Dunn County area
