Explore the Power of Our Giving Circles
Become a part of our Giving Circle, where each year brings new and engaging topics. Our Circles are designed to accommodate 10-20 donor members, ensuring a rich and thoughtful experience for all. Plus, your contribution, starting at $550, is amplified through the generosity of our silent partners, multiplying its impact.
How Do the Sessions Work?
We begin with introductions and the basics of the Giving Circle. We learn about the topic from insightful presenters. All Circle Members are welcome to review the grant applications and help decide what groups will be invited to come and tell us more! This is where you learn so much about the community – your heart and mind have a new understanding of what is, and what is possible.

Local Arts
By investing in local arts organizations, and cultural initiatives, we nurture creativity, strengthen community bonds, stimulate economic growth, and promote diversity and inclusion. In Southwest Washington, where the artistic landscape is as diverse as the natural beauty that surrounds us, let us recognize and celebrate the vital role that the arts play in shaping our collective identity and enriching our lives.
Your Group Giving
Investing in our community is a personal endeavor and should reflect your personal values. Let our infrastructure and platform connect your philanthropic group with local nonprofits. Guide your group efforts to make a lasting impact and a real difference in the lives of the people and causes you choose to uplift and support together.

Giving Pop-Ups
Your Invitation to Explore Local Nonprofits
Welcome to Giving Pop-Ups, a fresh addition to our 2024 lineup! What’s your vision for our community’s future?
At Giving Pop-Up sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to engage in small group conversations with five or more local nonprofitsduring a Pop-Up Session. Groups will represent a wide variety of organizations – varying by topic, size, approach, and even years of service in the community. Some may be new (or just new to you) while others are more established.
Each participating nonprofit receives a base grant from our Partner Circle boosted by your donation of $100 or more that evening. The evening is focused on collective philanthropy, not competition.
Join us in turning those dreams into reality for the greater good.
