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, we recognize and celebrate the vital role that the arts play in shaping our collective identity and enriching our lives.

 

The Arts Giving Circle met on October 15th and awarded grants to the following nonprofits.

  • Creations for Cures
  • Creative Arts Community 
  • Family Rhythms      
  • Family Solutions  
  • HOPE Dementia Support, a program of CDM Caregiving Services

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.

Join us at Giving Pop-Ups and be part of the change you wish to see in our community.

Volunteer Match-Ups!

Volunteering is one of the most empowering ways our community connects with nonprofit missions, programs, and purpose. Whether filling a box of emergency food items or serving as a board member, volunteers play a vital role in supporting nonprofits.

Ripple Impact NW & the Greater Vancouver Chamber have partnered to bring you an opportunity to connect with potential volunteers, and share your organization’s mission with a new audience through the Volunteer Match-Up event this fall.

Registration for Individuals (no cost, but RSVP needed to secure space) opens in June 2024.
