Throughout history, passionate individuals have joined together to make life better in their communities. Today, thousands of donors pool their money, energy and ideas to create giving circles.
Giving circles have emerged the last decade as a growing and significant philanthropic trend among donors of all wealth levels and backgrounds. Past studies have shown that the number of giving circles has exploded across the country and that they are an established philanthropic force. A new report finds that donors say they give more, give more strategically and are more knowledgeable about nonprofit organizations and problems in their communities when they participate in giving circles.
