The Women’s Giving Circle of Missoula County will hear from the three organizations selected to move forward in their 2024 grant cycle at their annual Finalist Presentations.

The presentation night will be held on Thursday, October 17 from 6-8PM at Goodworks Place, 129 West Alder Street and will focus on specific work being done by Montana Legal Services Association, The Poverello Center, and United Way of Missoula County to address homelessness and housing in our community.

Members of the WGC pool their membership gifts and provide an annual grant to a local nonprofit organization. This year the WGC has increased their annual grant award from $10,000 to $15,000 – and two unrestricted gifts of $1,000 will be given to the runner-up organizations.

The WGC has granted $64,000 to the Missoula Community since its inception in 2018. Each year the Circle collectively selects a grant focus area, facilitates education about the issue for its members and provides a forum for the grant finalists to showcase their work.

There is still time to join the Circle for the current grant cycle and vote for the award winner.
