Anne Arundel Women Giving Together (AAWGT) is a collective giving circle with the mission of improving the quality of life for women and families living in Anne Arundel County. Since its founding in 2006, AAWGT has awarded nearly $2 million in grants to 52 nonprofit organizations.

AAWGT’s 350+ members are engaged citizens. We serve on boards, donate hundreds of volunteer hours, and financially support the many nonprofit organizations serving our most vulnerable citizens. And, as a women-only philanthropic organization sponsored by the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County, we aim to educate not only our membership but also the general public with year-round informational programs led by nonprofit experts that focus on the most critical needs of our county’s families.

Each year, our membership grows. We are now the “go to” organization that attracts community leaders, retired professionals, new residents and – in a new initiative this year – we have now expanded our membership levels to encourage participation from younger women and those working in our nonprofit sector. Our members represent the future of grassroots philanthropy in our area.

We are reaching out to businesses and organizations, seeking sponsorship support to help underwrite the costs of running our all-volunteer organization. AAWGT's administrative costs include fees for our website and grants module, event costs for member events and community meetings, and the management fee charged by the Community Foundation, totaling about $40K per year. With sponsorship support, more monies are freed up for grants to area organizations.

By becoming an AAWGT sponsor, your company or organization is featured in front of our 350+ members and the 2,000+ community members who regularly receive our communications in addition to the 300+ participants in our year-round informational sessions. As a sponsor, you identify yourself as aligned with our mission of helping create new philanthropists and supporting women and families who are in need in our area. Your support allows our grant dollars to go deeper and wider, doing great good for our community. This website is a great place to learn more and see how our sponsors are promoted.

Please consider joining us as an AAWGT Sponsor this year!
