Tiffany Circle

The Tiffany Circle is a society of women leaders and philanthropists. These are women that generously share their time, talent and treasure.

By investing $10,000 annually in their local American Red Cross chapters, these women follow in the footsteps of a long line of women leaders who have helped the Red Cross serve the American public in times of war and peace with disaster assistance, blood collection, preparedness and safety training and countless other community assistance services.

The Red Cross and America have always been lead by women of humanitarian action and great compassion. Through the Tiffany Circle, we renew our commitment and our pledge to serve our community via the mothers, daughters, and sisters within our membership. The name Tiffany and the $10,000 amount have historical precedent.

The society is named for the beautiful Tiffany windows in the Board of Governors Hall at Red Cross national headquarters in Washington, D.C. These windows, produced by the Tiffany Studios, were commissioned by Red Cross President Mabel Boardman in 1917. As an act of reconciliation and hope, they were paid for with a $5,000 gift from the Women’s Relief Corps of the North and $5,000 from the United Daughters of the Confederacy of the South.

The women in these windows personify virtues at work in the Red Cross Movement: hope, mercy, faith, charity, truth and fortitude. Members of the Tiffany Circle provide living examples of these virtues in their local communities, by ensuring the Red Cross has the ability to help people prevent, prepare for and respond to life’s emergencies.
