Grant Liaisons

The Catonsville Women’s Giving Circle wants to expand our involvement with current grantees. So we created Grant Liaisons to pair a member with one of the nonprofit organizations that received grants from us in 2021. We already have 10 matches made.
​COMMITMENT: Contact the nonprofit once or twice a month to check on what’s needed and ways the CWGC can spread the word or help organize the response.

Perhaps you already lend a hand to one of the above groups. Liaison positions are open to current and new members. Join today! For more information contact:
