Our History
In October of 2008, a small group of women gathered to discuss the possibility of forming a giving circle in Cadillac. The enthusiasm generated at this meeting led to the formation of the Cadillac Area Women’s Giving Circle. Through the dedication of these philanthropists, the Cadillac Area will forever be enhanced by their charitable efforts.
Since its inception, the Cadillac Area Women’s Giving Circle has grown and now has created an endowed fund within the Cadillac Area Community Foundation. In addition to the annual giving for grants, members contribute to the endowed fund. Earnings from the endowed fund can be utilized to supplement grants each year.
