We'd love to have you join the Giving Circle!

If you are not a current member of the Circle, we would love to have you join us. Membership in the Giving Circle is open to all, including men and organizations/companies. You don't need to be invited and you don't need to be recommended by anyone! A growing membership is critical to the continued funding of our grant program. For more information on WGC membership, including special options for Junior (under age 21), young (under age 35), and organizational members, see our membership page or contact membership chair Angela Chase at membership@frederickwgc.org. Angela would be thrilled to connect with prospective new members either in-person or via email, phone, or Zoom.
