Anne Vitort helped found the Giving Circle of Clark County, because the giving circle in her area asked for a $1,000 annual donation. Wanting a giving circle she could participate in and that was accessible to more people, their giving circle members donate $250 each year. And in 6 years, they’ve donated $50,000 to charities in their community.
Anne and I talk about the democratic process they use to choose the charity, their annual education theme, and the benefits of partnering with a local community foundation. My favorite part is when she describes how being part of the giving circle helped her understand her community better. Enjoy this interview!
