Women supporting
women in need
Giving Together is a giving circle – a group of like-minded, committed women who pool funds and volunteer time to help low-income women and children in the Washington, DC area. Our members make all decisions on the allocation of funds by means of a thorough grantmaking process.
Our Work
At GT’s Annual Meeting on September 28, the members voted to award grants totaling $83,000 to five non-profits in Washington, DC and Montgomery County, MD. All the organizations selected for GT’s 2021 awards serve area women and children in need. The recipients in three categories are My Sister’s Place, ScholarCHIPS, the Safe Sisters Circle, Young Doctors DC and Mercy Health Clinic.
In May, GT dedicated our annual spring fundraising event to the Montgomery County Community Foundation’s “Food for Montgomery” campaign. Food for Montgomery is a public-private partnership that raises funds and devises strategies for hunger relief in the county.
Giving Together has established a Racial Equity Working Group (REWG), with nearly one-quarter of our members volunteering to participate. This is the first step we are taking to implement a new mission statement goal — advancing racial equity and social justice — which our members adopted unanimously at the 2020 Annual Meeting in late September.
