Starting and Running Better Giving Circles

Many Hands Giving Circle Interview

by Sharon

It was delightful talking with Susie Berenson, a founding member and current board member of the Many Hands Giving Circle. She is chock full of great advice. We talked about why they take a year off between donation cycles, how they make sure a non-profit can handle a $100,000 grant, how to watch out for the cult of personality non-profit, when to get a 501c3 status, and how they solicit donations through the mail.

I hope you endjoy this informative interview as much I enjoyed it!
