Be Informed!
There are so many ways to give. Consider a bequest or estate giving...

Recently, Grace Groner, a Illinois secretary, surprised her alma mater by leaving the school $7-million in her will. Gifts through wills have become an integral part of our philanthropic tradition, because such gifts enable a person to make significant contributions that  may not have been possible during life. Each year thousands of individuals designate a portion of their assets to the benefit and support of their favorite charitable organization.
Exploring alternative giving options insures that the Women's Giving Circle can help future generations of women and girls in Howard County. Click here to learn about other Ways to Give.
