Giving Circles
Giving circles in racial, ethnic and tribal communities can be a great strategy to involve groups of people in learning and giving. In giving circles, a group of donors comes together, pools their resources, decides collectively to which organizations they will give their money, and participates in collective, hands-on learning and giving.Additionally, some affiliate funds operate using a giving circle model. See profiles for affiliate funds for additional examples.
