We invite all Jewish women in our community to take a seat at the table.
Whether you are a returning Founder or looking to start your philanthropic journey, there is a place for your voice here.
The Women's Giving Circle is a community of impressive, philanthropic women committed to real, measurable change. We operate on a "learning-by-doing" curriculum that empowers every member to become a sophisticated funder and community leader.
When you join the Circle, you join a powerhouse of leaders who learn, decide, and act together as a group. We educate ourselves on the most critical challenges facing our community today. We use our collective expertise to ensure our resources go where they are needed most. We pool our wisdom and our wealth, achieving a level of influence no single donor can alone.

Our Mission
We strive to educate and empower women as philanthropists, funders, and decision makers. Guided by Jewish values, the Jewish Women's Giving Circle (JWGC) seeks to improve the lives of women and children in the Greensboro community and in Israel. Each year JWGC will distribute grants to nonprofit organizations in Greensboro and Israel, and to Jewish women in need across the world, that help fulfill our mission of Tzedakah (philanthropic giving) and Tikkun Olam (repairing the world).
