"“I was drawn to the idea of collective giving and connecting with like-minded women who care about our community. Since I cannot volunteer as much as I would like, I value the thoughtful work of the grant committees and trust their process. Their efforts give me confidence that our contributions are supporting local nonprofits and creating a meaningful impact.”"

Sheryl, nine-year member


"I was fortunate to find a wonderful group of friends when we moved to SWFL in 2017. In time, I realized all of the women I was friends with belonged to the Women’s Giving Circle—that did it for me! I am very fond of these women and respect them enormously for the generosity, kindness, and sense of responsibility they exhibit."

Julie, five-year member

Our
Mission

Improve the lives of Southwest Florida women and their families through collective giving to organizations that support those in need


Caring deeply about our community, we help women by:

  •  Giving grants to qualified organizations
  • Collaborating with community partners
  • Engaging and inspiring our members

Community
Impact

Make a difference in the quality of lives for women and children in SWFL


Our grants—combined with our volunteering, education, and networking activities—support women of all ages. We help children, teens, women in transition, and seniors by focusing on critical areas such as education, healthcare, domestic violence, housing, food insecurity, mental health, etc.

Join our
circle

Join our mission-driven, all volunteer organization and customize your level of involvement


Whether it's exploring community groups, shaping our future direction, attending biannual meetings, or networking over lunch with other passionate women, you can find your perfect fit. Your degree of involvement is as much, or as little, as you wish. All women are welcome.


  What is a Giving Circle?



Collective giving, or a giving circle, creates a sense of belonging between its members and the organization's mission and purpose. When people with shared values come together to make a change, their efforts and collective gifts enable your organization's ability to make a difference. Particularly favored by women, giving circles create a sub-community around nonprofits. Data shows that women contribute to nonprofits more than men, so it's not surprising they constitute nearly 70% of giving circle members.
