Please join us for a panel discussion on collective giving and giving circles with EPIP-NY. This skills-building program was designed for foundation staff and the general public and will focus on:
 
  • The basic definition of a giving circle.
  • The current collective giving landscape in NYC and the range of issues addressed.
  • How and why giving circles are formed.
  • How individuals can be affected personally and professionally by participating in a giving circle.
  • How one does not have to be a person of wealth to have impact in the area of social change.
 

Explore

  • How one’s own personal philanthropy and collective giving can support social change at the community level; and
  • How to apply these principles to one’s work at a grantmaking institution.
