Mary Wheeler Circle
In 1893, Mary Wheeler and a small group of women founded and operated a refuge for neighboring women in desperate need, a refuge known today as Wheeler Mission. Their legacy of female philanthropy and service lives on in the Mary Wheeler Circle, an association for women to help other women.
If you want to make a difference in the lives of other women, you’ve come to the right place!
Service
Members can serve in a variety of ways that are easily tailored to their schedule for any phase of life. There are chances to serve together with other members or serve with family, from home, or even through prayer.
Advocacy
Members have the opportunity to learn about topics relating to the work happening at the Center for Women & Children. Training opportunities throughout the year include subjects like trauma-informed care, grace-based care, and mental health. These are designed to grow understanding of the complexities of poverty and homelessness and increase advocacy.
Grant Process
Members give an annual gift and 100% is allocated for our Mary Wheeler Circle grant fund. The pledges from all members are pooled together and each fall, the Center for Women & Children staff submit grant proposals for MWC members to vote on. We announce the grant recipients at our Night of Celebration, which is a beautiful night of generosity and excitement that bridges the gap between the Mary Wheeler Circle members and front-line staff. (There are two giving levels, $500 or $1,000, that can be paid out over the whole year. We also have scholarships available!)
We’re thrilled to share the incredible results of our 12-month fundraising cycle! 🌟
Together, we raised a total of $132,348.03. We were able to fund 14 out of 18 grants and are set to partially support the 15th. We also welcomed 11 new members during the cycle, and we’re excited to have added at least one more recently!
A huge shoutout to our dedicated members, who have contributed 1200+ volunteer hours since January. Thank you to our members for your commitment to Wheeler Mission and our community.
