Business Women's Giving Circle

Invest. Connect. Inspire.

The Community Foundation for Northern Virginia launched its Business Women’s Giving Circle in 2014, the first group of its kind in the region comprised of women who are looking to empower girls and women of all ages through philanthropy in the Northern Virginia region.

Since its founding, the BWGC has awarded more than $465,000 to organizations providing exciting experiences in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), Leadership and Entrepreneurship with measurable impact on the lives of over 3,250 girls and young women in Northern Virginia.

“We are excited by the diversity not only in the ages of the beneficiaries being served by our grantees, but also in the organizations themselves. Our 2022 grantees include a public school sponsored program, a non-profit focused on science education projects, and a program for younger adults seeking employment in STEM fields.”
