Since our founding in 2010, we’ve supported nonprofit organizations that assist our neighbors in need.
To date the EGC has awarded over $600,000 in grants, made possible by the generosity of our hundreds of members to date. Operated entirely by volunteers, we have no paid staff and are governed by a volunteer board. To manage our EGC Community Grants Fund, we partner with Truman Heartland Community Foundation .
A giving circle is an elegantly simple concept … we combine annual donations from our members and award large grants to local worthy causes. By pooling our resources, we can create a more significant impact. The EGC organizes several fun events and meetings throughout the year, providing opportunities for members to connect, socialize and build relationships.
These events often serve as a platform to educate members about the challenges facing our community and introduce them to organizations actively addressing these issues. While we love to bring our members together, attendance at events is not required and some members choose to simply support our efforts through their membership gift and participation in voting on our grant finalists.
An Elegantly Simple Concept … we combine annual donations from our members and give large grants to local worthy causes. By pooling our resources to create one large gift, we can make a greater impact. Our 2026 focus is Adults and Youth with Disabilities and/or Special Needs.
To become a member, a donation of $305. 00 per year is requested, with $300 of this amount directed towards our grants for the year, while the remaining funds helps to cover administrative fees. Each year in the fall, our Grant Committee reviews and scores applications and identifies three finalists for the grants and three potential focus areas for the coming year.
Any member in good standing may serve on the committee, and all active members are then invited to vote on both the grant recipient and the focus area for the next year. In early November, following the membership vote, an annual Grant reception and celebration is held to award the Grant recipients.
Our goal for each year is to award at least one primary grant of $30,000, along with a secondary grant awarded to the runner up in the grants voting. For 2026 our focus is Adults and Youth with Disabilities and/or Special Needs.
