Starting and Running Better Giving Circles

Impact 100: Austin

by Sharon

Rebecca Powers helped found Impact 100: Austin in 2003. The recording of this interview is rough in a couple places, but it’s worth bearing with. Why? Because Rebecca launched her giving circle with 100 members. Or because she grew it by 100 members over the next four years. Or because they donate 5 $100,000 grants. Or because she did all that with no prior fundraising or philanthropy experience. Take your pick of any reason, but Rebecca shares some great advice and experience on this.
