Women’s Giving Circle
The Women’s Giving Circle accepts proposals on a rolling basis for their year-round granting. This group of donors wishes to have an immediate impact toward improving the situation of women, children, and older adults in the Yampa Valley. They accept proposals from organizations, schools, and churches who know of community members who could use a little boost from anonymous “angels” among us.
