Jumpstart Your Giving Circle
Get Your First 6 People by 2026 for $600!
Calling all community builders, changemakers, and everyday philanthropists. Ready to turn your passion into purpose and your ideas into impact? Join the giving circle movement—one of the fastest-growing forms of philanthropy—and multiply your impact in communities that matter to you!
There’s still time to make this the year you launch something new.
Giving circles are changing how we give. When you pool resources with friends, neighbors, and colleagues, your gift goes beyond the dollar. You build lasting relationships, share knowledge, and make strategic decisions together about where your collective dollars can create the biggest impact.
Before this year ends, get started! Launch. Give. Grow.
Philanthropy Together and Grapevine, with support from Fidelity Charitable® Catalyst Fund, are offering up to $600 in catalyzer gifts to help bring your giving circle to life—$100 for each of the first 6 people who help start the circle.
How it works:
Step 1: Attend Launchpad For You
Sign up today for our session on Tuesday, September 23 at 1PM ET / 10AM PT. You’ll leave with everything you need to start and lead a successful giving circle, including making your Grapevine circle page in real time.
Step 2: Launch Your Giving Circle on Grapevine
Create your giving circle page on Grapevine, the go-to platform for giving circles. This is where you can run your circle, manage member contributions and donations. You’ll receive your catalyzer gift straight to this page.
Step 3: Recruit Your First 6 Members. Receive $600.
Find 6 people—friends, family, coworkers—who want to make an impact with you by December 31, 2025. Each person who gives at least $25 means you’ll receive a $600 gift once your new members join.
Step 4: Collectively Decide Where to Give
Chat via Grapevine or host a meeting to discuss the causes your circle cares most about. Decide together where to give your pooled gift.
BONUS: States in the U.S. Central South and Mountain West will have their incentives DOUBLED! This means up to $1,200 for your new giving circle. Eligible states are: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Wyoming
