Celebrating Black Voices in Philanthropy

Host a Pop-Up Giving Circle this Black Philanthropy Month

Looking for ways to engage this August? Host a Pop-Up Giving Circle!

A pop-up giving circle is a quick interactive group giving experience. In just 90 minutes, you’ll discuss values, learn about organizations, and select a nonprofit to receive a pooled donation from your group. This is a great way to connect and give collectively, especially for those new to this collective giving model.
