Hello giving circle colleagues!

A new report on the impact of giving circles on members' philanthropy and civic engagement is being released today. The report finds that donors in giving circles say they give more, give more strategically, and are more engaged in their local communities. Members also gain more knowledge about nonprofit organizations and problems in the community, among other findings.
