In the Mohawk Valley, community has always meant showing up for one another. We rally around neighbors during difficult times, celebrate milestones together and step forward when something needs to be done.
That same spirit is reflected in the MVHS Foundation Women’s Giving Circle.
National research reinforces what many of us see every day in the Mohawk Valley: women play a powerful role in directing philanthropy and shaping the priorities that strengthen families and communities.
The 2025 Bank of America Study of Philanthropy highlights how values-driven donors increasingly guide charitable decisions toward causes that improve lives and build healthier communities. In the Mohawk Valley, that leadership is tangible. It means healthier pregnancies, stronger families, and children receiving exceptional care close to home.
The Women’s Giving Circle brings women together around a shared commitment to improving the health and wellness of women and children in the Mohawk Valley. Members make an annual gift to join the Women’s Giving Circle, and those gifts are pooled together to create a larger, collective investment in maternal and child health initiatives that serve families across the Mohawk Valley.
A few times each year, members gather to learn more about the health needs of families in the Mohawk Valley and to explore where their collective philanthropy can have the greatest impact. Together, they identify areas of maternal and child health where their pooled resources can strengthen programs, expand services and improve care for families throughout the Mohawk Valley.
