A community of women supporting the women of our community
Women supporting women and children in need
Giving Together is a giving circle – a group of like-minded, committed women who pool funds and volunteer time to support women and children in need in the Washington, DC area. Our members make all decisions on the allocation of funds by means of a thorough grantmaking process.
Giving Together Announces 2026 Spring Fundraiser
GT will celebrate our support of women and children in underserved Washington area communities with our Spring Event on May 13. The Event is an annual party and fundraiser for GT members and friends. This year, we're celebrating at Chevy Chase Village Hall, where we'll share wine and a light meal and hear from some of our inspiring grantees. A minimum contribution of $75 is requested for the GT Emergency Fund (GT members contributions are voluntary but much appreciated).
To register for the Event, please click here. To make a contribution to the Emergency Fund (whether or not you plan to attend the Event), please click here. All contributions made in the month of May will be credited to the Spring Event fundraiser.

A huge 'Thank You' to Giving Together! Safe Shores - The DC Children's Advocacy Center is honored to have been awarded this generous grant in support of the intervention, hope, and healing we provide for DC's child victims of abuse! We are grateful that the members of Giving Together share our commitment to protecting children and glad to be working in partnership to raise awareness about child abuse and increase child abuse prevention efforts in our community.

Making an Impact Through Collective Giving
Make a charitable donation to Giving Together to help support our organization and the important work we do.
In addition to funding our major grants, GT raises money throughout the year for our Emergency Fund. The proceeds help our community in crisis situations and aid individuals and families with immediate financial needs, such as a month’s rent to avoid eviction, a utility payment to keep the lights on, or coverage of a medical emergency. Traditionally, the GT Emergency Fund makes an annual award to the Greater Washington Community Foundation’s (GWCF) Neighbors in Need Montgomery program, where GT’s contribution is matched 100%. We’ve also dedicated fundraisers to the GWCF Emergency COVID Response Fund, the countywide Food for Montgomery initiative, and refugee resettlement in the Greater Washington area.
Help us serve our community better.
Volunteer!
Our volunteer activities expand the impact of our grants. We offer community service to all of our non-profit grant recipients. In this way, we stay connected to these groups and the community.
Volunteer activities are open to members and non-members alike. If you would like to become involved in the work we are doing, here are some options:
-
Volunteer for a project
-
Lead a service project with one of our grantees
-
Serve as a liaison with one of our grantees
