Membership & Donations
Posted by Priscilla Macy on October 22, 2008
The Giving Circle welcomes both new members and one time donations. All donations are tax deductible and go 100% toward supporting projects in Africa.
- To experience the the educational phone calls, travel opportunities, vetting and voting aspects of the circle it is necessary to become a member with the gift of $365 to $2,000.
- A donation consists of a gift of $35 to $364 and includes the opportunity to take part in the educational phone calls and receive updates about the circle.
Because of the flexible nature of the Giving Circle, members can become involved as much or as little as they wish- but they always have the assurance that dedicated members are scouting and researching to the best of their abilities to find the best projects to fund.
We always welcome members to speak up and contribute their indivual talents to the cirlce- whether they be computer skills, organization, throwing fundraiser parties or even sewing dolls to be sent to ailing children in Livingstone, Zambia. As a community, the Giving Cirlce functions best with participatory members, all working together. Of course, donations are also warmly welcomed and have thus far been successfully gathered from word of mouth and members hosting fundraiser wine tastings at their homes.
The Circle’s fiscal sponsor is Grassroots International, a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization. To join/donate:
