Are you connected to a nonprofit in the Chippewa Valley that works to improve the well-being of local women and children? If you answered yes, you should know about the Women’s Giving Circle, a fund of the Eau Claire Community Foundation.

 The Women’s Giving Circle is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year by giving grants up to $6,000 to qualifying Eau Claire-area nonprofits. Over the past decade, the Women’s Giving Circle has distributed grants worth a total of $186,000, which have helped programs that distribute meals on weekends to elementary students, provide financial literacy mentorship to women living in poverty, give after-school music instruction to students, and much more.

The grant application deadline is July 1. If your nonprofit is interested in applying, call the Eau Claire Community Foundation at (715) 552-3801 or go to eccommunityfoundation.org
