Events

Every year we host events for our members, grantees and donors.  

Please see a list of our upcoming events below.

Annual Reception

2023

TBA

Time

Our annual meeting is the highlight of the year.  It's a party with several important functions.  Members have a chance to mingle and are encouraged to bring a friend who is interested in learning more about our Circle.  During a short business portion, we elect officers for the coming year.  Grantees tell the group about their programs.  The energy of women helping other women through philanthropy and fellowship is inspiring!

The reception is generally on a Wednesday evening mid-June. Details will be worked out and announced.

All members receive an invitation in the mail.  If you are not yet a member and would like to attend, please contact us at INFO@hestiacircle.org

Grant Committee Meetings

2023 - starting soon!

Time

In March the Grant Committee Chair announces a call for grants and invites members to serve on the grant review committee.  In addition to each person reading and evaluating the applications on their own, there are two  Zoom meetings in May to discuss the applications.

 

In 2022 we granted $67,000, bringing our total granted over the years to $677,702 invested in 138 projects. Go to the "Grants" page of this website to see details.

 

Jean Van Dam will once again be our 2023 Grants Committee Chair, this year assisted by Ali Hill. They will send an email inviting the members to serve.  You can be on the committee by replying to that email or writing to them at INFO@hestiacircle.org
