BVEF Signature Events
Fall and Spring Events
Plan to join us on November 12, 2026 and April 22, 2027 - Registration will open August 1.
Women’s Giving Circle offers $10,000 grants to individual schools across the district or department-wide curriculums. 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.
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 $10,000 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.
