A WOMEN’S COLLECTIVE GIVING CIRCLE
One woman. One vote. One hundred times the impact.
Each member gives $1,000. Together we award grants of $100,000 or more to nonprofits transforming Greater Cleveland — and every member helps decide where it goes.

HOW MEMBERSHIP WORKS
Simple math. Transformational grants.
1
Join with $1,000
Together, creating a transformational impact across Greater Cleveland. Every contribution is pooled to fund meaningful grants for local nonprofits doing extraordinary work in our community.
2
Learn what Cleveland needs
Local nonprofits apply. Members can join review committees, meet finalists and see their work up close.
3
Vote at The Big Give
Every member casts a vote, and $100,000 or more goes to a Greater Cleveland nonprofit — in a single night.
WHY MEMBERSHIP MATTERS
Every seat at the table changes what we can fund.
The grant grows with the circle. When 100 women join, a single nonprofit receives $100,000 — the kind of gift that funds a new program, not just a month of operations.

One member, one vote — whether it’s your first year or your tenth.
