Jessica Bearman helped found the Moscow Women’s Giving Circle. I found out after I contacted her that she was instrumental in putting the giving circle resources together at the Giving Forum. I used this site extensively while putting together my giving circles, and I highly recommend checking them out.
Jessica and I spent a lot of time talking about how her giving circle has changed over time and how they’ve adapted to the different desires of the members, incorporated the lessons they learned, and maintained a healthy giving circle over the years. She refers to giving circles as the Home Depot of Philanthropy.
