The DIVAs Giving Circle


The Donors inVesting in the Arts (DIVAs) Giving Circle is a group of Montgomery County women who pool their charitable dollars, making grants that enable at-risk youth in Montgomery County to have life-changing experiences through the arts.

 

In 2006, the DIVAs established the "Rising Star" Award to encourage middle school students demonstrating talent and a passion for the arts. Last year, the group supported innovative nonprofits that incorporate the arts into programs which promote academic achievement for at-risk youth.

 

For the 2008 summer, the DIVAs developed a special grant to support art-based summer activities for individual Montgomery County youth dealing with significant life struggles. 

 

The DIVAs are currently seeking applications from nonprofits to support art programs serving at-risk youth in middle and high school. Click here to learn about the DIVAs giving focus for the 2008 Fall.
