Each year, Centre County joins together in a celebration of local organizations. Your membership is pooled together with other members to create a $10,000 grant that you get to decide where it goes. At our reception in Fall, meet your fellow members, hear pitches from the organization finalists, and vote on what local organization is bestowed a $10,000 grant.
The Giving Circle event provides a space for those interested in starting to give back to their community to meet other like-minded individuals. Together, we can make a more vibrant Centre County.
