(Ripley County, Ind.) - The Ripley County Community Foundation is excited to invite you to the Women’s Giving Circle: Sun, Fun, & Philanthropy Social. This special event is a unique opportunity to connect with individuals dedicated to improving the quality of life for local women and children and to learn how you can be a part of this vital mission.

Mission Driven Purpose:

The Women’s Giving Circle unites women from diverse backgrounds and generations, leveraging their collective resources to create a meaningful impact in the lives of women and children across Ripley County. “The purpose of this event is clear: to fund initiatives that directly support the well-being and future of local women”, stated Amy Streator, Executive Director, Ripley County Community Foundation. The Women’s Giving Circle has already granted $6,000 to local organizations in 2025. Recent grant recipients, selected by the members of the giving circle, include Safe Passage, Summer Food for Kids, and Southeastern IN YMCA.

Grant Available:

In an exciting addition to this year’s social, the Women’s Giving Circle will present a $2,500 grant live at the event to a local nonprofit, which is working to uplift the lives of women and children, and thus bringing the mission of the Women’s Giving Circle to life at the event.
