Membership Committee Fall 2022

Here’s How…

The Giving Circle is made up of women who have a passion for helping women and girls break the cycle of poverty.  Membership in the Circle allows each of us to have so much more impact than we could individually.

Members choose to be as involved as their time commitments allow, including committee work, attending membership events, or by simply contributing their money and knowing that they are making a difference. Click here to learn about our committees and volunteer opportunities.

There are two options for membership annual contribution:
Sustainer – $1050* or more or Catalyst – $450*-$1049*
*$50 of each contribution supports our operating expenses.  The entire amount is tax deductible.

Click Here to download the  Membership Form. Please submit the completed form with a check for your first Annual Membership Contribution. Please fill out a Membership Form and submit it even if you wish to make your payment by credit card.

There are two ways to send your annual membership contribution.

By check, please make your check payable to “Rochester Area Community Foundation”. Write “RWGC” on the memo line. If you are a new member,   please include “new member” on the memo line as well. Mail your check to:

By credit card, you can make a secure credit card donation through the Rochester Area Community Foundation’s website CLICK HERE  Be sure to select Rochester Women’s Giving Circle as the fund to receive the gift. *An additional $30 is needed if paying by credit card to cover credit card processing fees. For example -a membership contribution of $1000 would be $1080. It would be $1000 to our grants, $50 for operating expenses and $30 for credit card processing fees.

Regardless of contribution amount, each member has an equal voice in grant selection and Giving Circle decision-making.
