The Rochester Women's Giving Circle awarded $190,000 in grants to 10 local nonprofits that help women and girls in poverty transition to a self-sufficient life. Those ten awards range from $6,000 dollars to $25,000, and were handed out Wednesday Morning. The circle is made up of about 180 women who believe in the power of collective giving, and who support agencies that enable women to fly while in a state of independence. One of the group's co-chairs described the work that makes the giving circle a successful nonprofit.
