Response Network of the Women's Giving Circle

From the Baltimore Sun:

When $1,000 or less prevents a woman in dire circumstances from taking a major step toward reversing the downward spiral of her life, the Response Network of the Women's Giving Circle of Howard County comes alive.

The network is an electronic call to action that sets a speedy fundraising mechanism in motion each month by e-mail, which is currently dispatched to 1,000 women and asks them to pledge whatever amount they can.

WGC, which is a fund of the Columbia Foundation, will join in celebrating that organization's 40th anniversary March 3 by presenting a program on philanthropy that is open to all women.
