Women's Giving Circle

Working together for
our Future

The Women’s Giving Circle of North Central Florida is a group of women who combine their resources to address the philanthropic needs of women and girls in the Gainesville community. The Circle is a special initiative of the Community Foundation that enables women to direct their giving in purposeful and strategic ways. Members are women of all ages and professions from our community. Since 2006, the members of the Women’s Giving Circle have invested more than $2.2 million to address such issues as economic empowerment, job skills, education, mental health, domestic violence, and more.

Together we bring these initiatives to life.
