Funds collected by the Women’s Giving Circle are divided evenly between the pass-through fund and the permanent fund unless the donor specifies some other division.    The money collected in the pass through fund during a fund year, plus a portion of the earnings from the permanent fund, are granted to organizations providing services to women and their dependents during the following fiscal year.  More information on this process can be found in our GRANTS section.

The Women’s Giving Circle is not affiliated with any political party or case, and it does not support a particular agenda.  All business is conducted without regard to race, sexual orientation, or ethnic background.

"On behalf of the Board of Directors, volunteers, staff and especially the patients of Mission of Mercy, thank you to the Women’s Giving Circle of Frederick County for its support of Mission of Mercy. The Women’s Giving Circle is a key partner in easing the burden of women and children in our community who are unable to afford needed health care. Your support helps women and their families improve the quality of their lives - by keeping children in school, employees at work and families free from substantial medical debt so that they can pay their bills and remain productive members of their community. The 2007 grant award will assist Mission of Mercy in treating 275 women and children at 850 free patient visits, and provide them with 2,075 free prescriptions and 225 free dental procedures. Thank you so very much for your support."
