Over the last 15 years, the Women’s Giving Circle has combined our giving power to award more than $818,000 in grants to organizations making a real difference to the lives of women and children in Cumberland County.
“The Women's Giving Circle is among the most philanthropic organizations in our community. With an emphasis of giving to programs directly impacting women and children, it matches perfectly with Fayetteville Area Habitat for Humanity. The vast majority of the families we serve are single women with children. The Women's Giving Circle funds help us lower the cost of housing for families, allowing these families an affordable mortgage for newly constructed homes. This creates stability for these families which directly impacts the mental, emotional, physical growth, intellectual growth and social development for their children.” - Brandon Price, Esq., Chief Executive Officer of Fayetteville Area Habitat for Humanity
