Join the Global Giving Circle Directory

Philanthropy Together has partnered with our friends at Grapevine (a technology platform to manage giving circles) to update the latest research on collective giving and build the first-ever global giving circle directory!

With more than 2,000 giving circles to browse through, you can now easily:

Showcase your giving circle: Attract new members, connect with prospective grantees, and highlight your work for potential funders
Collaborate with giving circles: Easily find other giving circles doing work like yours and form new partnerships

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my giving circle profile information over time?

Yes! After claiming your profile on the directory, you can follow these three steps to update your profile information over time:

Visit Grapevine.org and log in to your account
Click on the profile you’d like to update under “Your Giving Circles” on the home page
On your group page, use the “edit” buttons throughout the page to update any of your information.

Is there a cost to participate?

Never! The goal of the directory is to showcase the entire global movement, bring more members your way, and spotlight your work and the groups you support.

Do I have to collect donations through Grapevine to be part of the directory?

No, the directory is a resource for all giving circles and you do not have to collect donations through Grapevine. You will; however, make a Grapevine account to claim and make any ongoing updates to your giving circle’s profile.

How will the directory be kept up to date? What if my circle closes?

We will host an annual drive to get new giving circles on the directory. You can remove your giving circle at any point if it closes. Please help us keep your information updated by checking in periodically.

What if I’m just starting a giving circle?

Join the directory anyway! Being on the directory may help you in finding members to join and seeing other giving circle profiles might inspire your own giving circle!

How will you protect my information?

Your information will only be used to share in the Giving Circle directory. Your information will never be sold. Any personal details used to fill out your profile will not be shared publicly.

Communities of Practice

Learn alongside other giving circle leaders

Your giving circle has unlimited potential, but it’s common to experience challenges and concerns along the way. Philanthropy Together’s Communities of Practice unite a critical mass of giving circles from across the field who have similar challenges. You’ll learn and share opportunities to strengthen your giving circle alongside a community of other circles who likely look and think differently. Together, we can all grow stronger.
