The Giving Network leverages the power of collective giving through a local network that supports charitable organizations serving women, children and families in the Cary community.<\/p>\r\n<p>The Network is designed to maximize women&rsquo;s leadership in philanthropy by engaging and educating its membership and increasing charitable contributions. It supports a competitive grants program under the direction of its full membership.<\/p>\r\n<p>In addition to Ogle, executive board members include Alisa Wright Colopy (communications chair) and Ann Carlson (grants chair). The Network welcomes membership from any woman in the Cary community with an interest in joining. Members commit to making a $600 contribution annually for three years.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h3>About the North Carolina Community Foundation<\/h3>\r\n<p>The North Carolina Community Foundation is the single statewide community foundation serving North Carolina and has administered more than $217 million in grants since its inception in 1988.
