The Giving Circle of Hope is an exceptionally vibrant giving circle. Two weeks ago, I posted an interview with Diana Katz about their robust grant process, and this week, I’m excited to share with you the interview with another co-founder Linda Strup.
They’re not content to just donate money or time, and they’ve incorporated multiple service projects to serve their community. She also talks about their newsletter, their book club, and how they recruit new members. Enjoy learning about some new activities you could incorporate into your giving circle.
