The Tiffany Circle Society of Women Leaders
There is a limited number of charitable organizations that are very closely tied to The American Red Cross. Two of the more well-known of these are The Clara Barton Society and The Tiffany Circle Society of Women Leaders. The society recognizes the influential part women have played throughout the years of The American Red Cross.
The Tiffany Circle, the Society’s “nickname”, is a nationwide leadership network of female leaders and philanthropists who want to change lives, save lives, and empower communities through a $10,000 donation to their local Chapter of The American Red Cross. The women of The Tiffany Circle also support their communities through an investment of their time and their abilities.
The name Tiffany, and the donation figure of $10,000 specifically recognize two historical precedents in the history of The American Red Cross. The Circle is named after the beautiful Tiffany windows in the Board of Governor’s Hall at The American Red Cross national headquarters in Washington D.C. The American Red Cross President Mabel Boardman commissioned these windows, produced by the Tiffany Studios, in 1917. The Women’s Relief Corps of the North, and the United Daughters of the Confederacy of the South, each gave $5,000 in an act of reconciliation and hope, to pay for them.
The women depicted in the Tiffany windows personify the virtues at work in The American Red Cross: hope, mercy, faith, charity, truth and fortitude. Members of The Tiffany Circle provide living examples of these virtues in their own communities, ensuring that their local Chapter is able to provide the services required by the local community.
