Catonsville Women’s Group Aims to Help Nonprofits

A group of local women is working to improve Catonsville, one nonprofit at a time. 

The Catonsville Women’s Giving Circle aims to have an impact on town by providing funding to charitable organizations and programs. In 2012, the group distributed $20,250 to 13 Catonsville organizations.

The group holds it first Grants Showcase at 7 p.m. on April 11 at Mount de Sales Academy, where 2012’s grantees will discuss projects they have completed or are working on with the money from the Women’s Giving Circle.

The group collects annual dues of $260, which is pooled together for the grants. The organization is looking for new members as well as anyone who would like to help out at the April 11 event. 

For a list of previous grants given out, visit the Women’s Giving Circle’s website.
