What is the Women’s Giving Circle?
The Women's Giving Circle unites women to collectively raise awareness of and distribute funds to nonprofits whose missions reflect our Catholic faith and have in impact in the Greater New Orleans community. Designed as a giving circle, members commit to giving $1,100 (over 40) or $600 (40 and under). They then leverage this pooled fund to have greater philanthropic impact on the organizations they select.

How Does the
Giving Circle Work?During an annual six-week period (typically March – April), Women’s Giving Circle members will gather to:
-
Learn about effective philanthropy (impact of grant size on an organization, understanding unrestricted versus restricted gifts); decide the number/amount of grants to be made.
-
Hear from selected organizations about their life-giving missions.
-
Vote on grant recipients.
-
Celebrate and award grants!
In the fall, members will have the chance to tour organizations receiving grants and learn the impact of their combined philanthropy.

Why A Women's Giving Circle?
The Women’s Giving Circle brings together Catholic women from diverse backgrounds with one common goal: to bring about change through the power of grants that transform lives and build the body of Christ.
Throughout the year, we will gather to learn about organizations and their needs, and decide together which projects to fund. There will also be opportunities to share ideas, serve with one another and, of course, plenty of time to socialize.
