What are Giving Circles?
Giving Circles are groups of people who come together to help others. They can be friends, family, colleagues, or even strangers who share the same values and want to make a difference. These circles pool their resources and make collective decisions to support families in need or causes they care about.
Models of Giving Circles
Supporting Families
In this model, a group of individuals come together to pool their donations and offer social support to a family in need for at least six months, with the goal of creating a sustainable support system for the family.
Circle members can choose how they wish to contribute – either by pooling funds, providing various types of social support, or both.
Supporting Causes
In this model, a group of individuals pool their resources, collectively select causes, engage in discussions about potential charity recipients and ultimately vote on where to allocate their collective resources.
This process is typically repeated on a regular basis, such as monthly or quarterly, over a period of six to twelve months, allowing the group to provide ongoing support to the causes they care about.
