Women’s Giving Network Makes Major Investment in StepUp Ministry
Big news from the development team! We are thrilled to share that the Women’s Giving Network of Wake County recently awarded StepUp $40,000 to support women and children seeking employment and life skills. Elaine Bryant-Donigan, one of StepUp’s adult case managers, accepted the award at WGN’s annual Impact Luncheon on November 7.
“After being broken, disheartened and ship-wrecked, StepUp became a haven for me to find my footing and my voice. Now as a case manager, I can transparently share my story to help others find hope, healing, and stability,” Elaine shared as she thanked the group for their support.
“Our membership was most impressed with the impact StepUp Ministry is making in the lives of people here in Wake County,” said Donna Anderson, chair of the Women’s Giving Network grants committee. “We look forward to a close relationship as the impact of this grant award is felt among the community.”
The Women’s Giving Network of Wake County is a giving circle of the North Carolina Community Foundation, which leverages the power of collective giving through a local network that purposefully supports the community. The Network annually supports several charitable organizations serving women, children, and families in Wake County.
We are grateful for the generous support from this caring group of women and look forward to deepening our relationship with them as we change lives in the community.
