The Simple Definition of a Giving Circle

A giving circle is a group of people who pool their donations of time and/or money.

What is a Giving Circle’s Purpose?

To make bigger and better donations as a group!

When a group of people pool their donations, they make a bigger group donation and make a bigger impact on a charity.

A giving circle has a donation committee who researches a charity before making a donation, so they choose a better charity who will make a bigger impact on the problem.

A giving circle educates its members about the problem, so they can identify which programs and which charities are going to make a bigger difference.

What is a Giving Circle Good For?

Do you want to feel great about your donations?

Do you want to feel confident that they are going to great charities doing great work?

Do you want to make educated donations in very little time?

Do you want peace of mind that your giving back?

Do you want to enjoy donating more so it’s not just a responsibility or the unrewarding experience of writing a check?

Do you want permission to say no to other donation requests?

Do you want to discover new non-profits doing amazing work that you might otherwise never know about?

If so, then you want to be part of a giving circle! You can start your own giving circle around a cause you care about (download my e-book on the 4 steps to Starting and Running a Successful Giving Circle) or find a giving circle already in progress.
