The tradition of Women’s Giving Circles has long been a beacon of hope and support for community projects through volunteerism, skill-sharing, and personal financial donations. The Lake Club Women’s Giving Circle (TLCWGC), while affiliated with the Manatee Community Foundation, proudly operates independently with a profound mission.
Since our inception, we have reached a significant milestone, granting over $213,000 to local nonprofits. This achievement stands as a testament to the power of collective giving and doing. Our aim remains steadfast: to bolster organizations that serve the critical needs of women, children, and families in Sarasota and Manatee counties.
Your membership is more than just a contribution; it is the cornerstone of our thriving organization. Joining TLCWGC means you become part of a dynamic group of Lake Club women, united in their commitment to charitable causes. By making a single initial donation and then an annual contribution to our Annual Grant Fund, you are not only supporting vital community projects but also becoming an integral part of a movement that believes in the strength of unity and collective action.
As a member of TLCWGC, your role is pivotal. You have the power to influence the allocation of our funds to local nonprofits. New members bring fresh insights and abilities, enriching our circle with diverse perspectives and skills. Your involvement can take many forms – from proposing charities for funding, voting on grant recipients, joining committees to transform ideas into reality, to assisting with events, fundraising, and administrative tasks. Our initiatives offer ample opportunities for direct volunteer engagement, ensuring that your efforts and contributions make a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve.
Joining our circle means forging meaningful friendships and connections, an added bonus to our shared goals. Together, we embody Aristotle’s wisdom: “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” Our group’s synergy is not just about individual effort; it’s about the collective brilliance and power of all members.
