Local giving circle reaches milestone; Raleigh nonprofit conference on 3/29
March 2, 2010
- The Women's Giving Circle of Fayetteville has grown to over 100 members, and they have recently launched into their second year of grantmaking.
The giving circle, one of the original giving projects supported by NCGives in partnership with the Cumberland Community Foundation, awards high-impact grants to projects focusing on women and children in Cumberland County, NC. Basic needs is the focus area chosen by the membership for the 2010 grant cycle (this can include but is not limited to health care, food and shelter).
Nonprofit organizations serving Cumberland County may apply for grants of up to $48,00. Initial letters of inquiry are due this Friday, March 5; grant information and other details can be found online at www.cumberlandcf.org.
