The McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital Foundation is excited to announce the launch of the McCullough-Hyde Women’s Giving Circle, with 30 “founders” providing philanthropic leadership in year one.
The McCullough-Hyde Women’s Giving Circle is made up of a diverse group of women that pool their donations and decide together how to best invest in programs that support and empower women and girls in the community.
“Women give differently than men,” said Mary Bennett, Chief Development Officer. “This is what research shows and this is what my years of experience in fundraising has proven. We tend to be guided by our empathy for others and enjoy giving collectively for causes that support women and families.”
Organizational meetings took place in August and December at the Knolls of Oxford. The McCullough-Hyde Women’s Giving Circle meets quarterly for networking, fellowship and educational sessions focused on health and wellness issues facing women.
A minimum donation of $1,000 is required for an individual, one-year membership. Members are entitled one vote to determine which program or project to fund. The evaluation of health and wellness projects will be based on the positive impact it will have on women and girls throughout Butler and Preble counties in Ohio and Franklin and Union counties in Indiana. Members will collectively decide and vote on the recipients of the grants each year. The inaugural grant will be made in spring 2023.
The McCullough-Hyde Women’s Giving Circle is open to all women who are interested in making a philanthropic impact. Additional information and details related to membership can be found at TriHealth.com/MHMHFoundation.
