How to Raise with Giving Circles: Harnessing the Power of Collective Giving

Giving circles are one of the fastest-growing forms of philanthropy, bringing people together to pool resources, make decisions collectively, and drive greater impact. In this session, Tyeshia Wilson, Senior Director of Community at Philanthropy Together, will show how fundraisers can adapt the giving circle model to engage donors, build stronger communities, and raise sustainable funding that support nonprofit organizations. Whether you're a development professional, program leader, or CEO, you'll gain practical strategies to integrate collective giving into your fundraising toolkit.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
  • Explain the giving circle model and its benefits for nonprofit fundraising and community engagement. 
  • Identify strategies to adapt collective giving practices to fit their organization's mission and donor base.
  • Develop actionable steps to launch or partner with a giving circle to diversify and grow revenue streams.
