BVEF Signature Events

Women’s Giving Circle offers a $15,000 grant opportunity two times a year to an individual school, a grade level across the district, or a department-wide curriculum. Grant proposals, submitted by principals, administrative leaders, or classroom teachers, are narrowed down to three finalists selected. Finalists will present at the Women’s Giving Circle gathering where voting members, donors, will select the winning grant. Register.

A giving circle is participatory philanthropy, individuals make donations that are pooled and collectively awarded to the winning grant. For the BVEF Women's Giving Circle, up to three grant applications will be presented to members at the spring and fall event. A $100 donation entitles an individual to attend the event and to vote for the grant of their choice. Up to $15,000 will collectively be awarded to the winning grant. 

Want to participate but can't attend? All registered Women's Giving Circle members who are unable to join us will receive copies of the grant applications and an opportunity to vote prior to the gathering.
