'Thanks to NICF for their bringing together generous givers with community building groups in the county.'
The Fulton County Women’s Giving Circle has granted $10,000 to local charitable organizations.
The grants were announced Oct. 1 at the group's annual event at The Times Theater. Receiving the most member votes, United Ministries was awarded a $3,500 grant to help fund its emergency relief program that assists residents facing eviction or utility disconnection.
A $2,500 grant was awarded to the Rochester Middle and High School Band for instrument repairs. Grace MomCo (formerly MOPS) was awarded a $2,000 grant for program support. Grants of $1,000 each were awarded to both the Nickel Plate Trail and Fulton County Park Department.
“United Ministries of Fulton County is very grateful to the Women's Giving Circle for giving to community people in need of food, housing, utilities and Christmas Baskets,” United Ministries' David Smook said. “Thanks to NICF for their bringing together generous givers with community building groups in the county.”
Since 2010, the Women’s Giving Circle has granted nearly $100,000 to Fulton County charitable groups. Members pay a $120 annual donation that goes towards that year’s grant dollars, as well as the giving circle’s endowment fund. Women can get a jumpstart on their 2025 memberships by visiting The Fulton County Women’s Giving Circle page at nicf.org.
