Have you ever wanted to be a philanthropist, but thought that was only for millionaires? Not anymore! With giving circles, a new grassroots-style of philanthropy, members pool their money, learn about an area of community need, and vote on projects to support. These combined gifts can make a huge impact on our community… and you can have more fun by learning, giving, and socializing together!
The Community Foundation is sponsoring our community’s first giving circle, The New Philanthropists, which will begin charitable granting in spring 2009.
Thanks to everyone who came out to Oliver Winery on Nov. 19 to share some good cheer and learn about this exciting new project. Our next meeting will be on Saturday, Jan. 16 at the YMCA, from 3:30 - 5:30 PM. Activities are planned for the whole family and all are welcome! You do not need to have attended the November meeting to join us at the Y.
Please RSVP by Monday, Jan. 11 to Ginger Simpson at ginger@cfbmc.org. You can also contact Ginger if you would like more information. |
