What Is A
Giving
Circle
A giving circle is a form of participatory philanthropy. Individuals come together to create the change they want to see in the world. This way of giving enables people to increase their impact and knowledge, have fun, and connect with their local or national community. Collectively, giving circles donate their own money or time to a pooled fund, and together, they decide where those funds go or what nonprofit is awarded a grant.
