About Giving Circles

A Giving Circle is a group of individuals who combine their money, time, and talent to show support for the causes they believe in most.  Many Giving Circles consist of friends and family members who feel that the benefits of giving are better realized when they are shared with the people you care about most.

Start a Giving Circle for any reason!

  • Show support for what you believe in
  • Rally around a person in your life
  • Honor someone or something
  • Weddings, birthdays, and celebrations
  • Raise awareness
  • Because it's fun to give!

"I joined a Giving Circle with a group of friends in 2007.  We all give what we can based on what we have.  The monthly gifts range from $15 - $35 each month.  In three years, we have given more than $10,000 to Colorado nonprofit organizations.  We choose the recipients each year based on our shared interests.  Our recipients don't always completely align with my personal giving priorities but deciding together falls perfectly in sync with how I value friendship and community.  Most importantly, we know that giving together gives us momentum and purpose.  Each of us on our own could not make a $10,000 gift and some of us might not give at all while we wait for a perfect fit.  Instead, we've committed together to start moving and start giving.  $15 at a time, we are changing Colorado."
