A beautiful, intimate gathering of like-minded women.

Are you passionate about The Ruth Project? Imagine a fun and impactful way to support our families with other women through multiplied giving.

It’s called Naomi’s Circle.

In her Biblical story, Ruth sought the counsel of her mother-in-law, Naomi, who used her knowledge and wisdom to help guide Ruth’s future.

Naomi’s Circle will gather multi-generational women whose knowledge and wisdom will help guide future efforts at The Ruth Project. Through doable generosity, these women will make a big philanthropic impact!

Launching March 4th, Naomi’s Circle will meet four times a year to hear about three “behind the scenes” giving opportunities at The Ruth Project. Together we’ll vote and choose one to collectively support and commit to contributing $100 each. As a group, our individual gifts of resources and time will be multiplied to make a big impact!

We’ll hear from Founder and Executive Director Tammy McMahan and Ruth Project Team members, connect with other women, make new friends, and share a special treat.

Doable generosity.
March, June, September, December.
Four times.
One year.
$400 commitment!

Let’s link arms to create Naomi’s Circle and love our foster families – together in a new way!

Live far away? No worries! We invite you to join us for the evening via video! Request an online link when you register.
