The Myrna Marofsky Scholarship Fund
Since our founding, The BWC has supported women’s growth in business, leadership, and life. Recognizing that financial barriers can limit participation, we established the Myrna Marofsky Scholarship Fund to assist women who may not otherwise be able to afford a BWC membership.
By removing financial barriers, these scholarships help women strengthen their businesses, creating a ripple effect that extends to their families, communities, and the local economy.
The Myrna Marofsky Scholarship Fund is made possible by the commitment of The BWC to put 5% of its annual revenue towards scholarships each year. So as a member or attendee of one of our workshops, you contribute to this fund as well.
Just another example of PEERpower in action.
The Circle Community
Women business owners face unique challenges—from limited access to funding and gender bias to isolation and the pressure of balancing it all. With nearly half of all new businesses closing within five years, support and connection are critical.
That’s why The Business Women’s Circle® (The BWC) exists—to connect women through powerful peer communities that fuel both personal and professional growth. Founded by women in 2009, The BWC creates space for leaders to thrive through shared experiences, expert facilitation, and a commitment to mutual success.
To make this impact accessible to more women, we created The Circle Community—a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that allows individuals, corporations, and foundations to support BWC’s mission through charitable giving.
Funds raised help bring in dynamic speakers, develop educational content, expand Circle resources, and grant scholarships to events. As we invest in women, we see them reinvest in their businesses, their teams, and their communities.
