About Us
GPGC is a community of Baltimore-area women who come together to share our time, talents, and expertise in service to local community organizations. Our mission is to lighten burdens and support others with grace, compassion, and love.
Our Mission
Each year, the GPGC identifies worthy causes in our community that need support. Over time, we have built ongoing relationships with three community organizations where we are able to make a durable impact. We also respond to limited requests for additional funding throughout the year.
We believe we are:
#Bettertogether
How we work
Our circle is unique. We gather together, not just to raise much needed funds for our community, but also to provide in-person support.
We begin by listening to our partners’ needs. Then we combine our resources of donor contributions, member expertise, and volunteer capacity, creating programs and projects to have maximum impact.
These include but not limited to:
Creating and maintaining a new children’s garden at St. Vincent’s Villa.
Sourcing and delivering monthly Blessings Bags for high school students in need.
Sorting donations and supporting the Gift in Kind shopping boutique for the clients at Helping Up Mission Center for Women and Children.
Host the annual Recovery dinner for the clients and staff at HUM CWC to honor and celebrate National Recovery Month.

Our journey…together
“Being able to come together as friends, encourage each other, and step out of our comfort zones all while supporting these incredible organizations has been a privilege and a joyful journey. I cannot wait to see what comes next!”
Lisa Rogers, Executive Director
