Chicago has a rich culture of philanthropy that has influenced communities affected by inequalities. However, philanthropic giving has traditionally been viewed as an exclusive activity reserved for wealthy individuals, leaving out minority communities from making a difference. Giving Circles are increasingly playing a vital role in philanthropy and fundraising by creating a level playing field for everyone to participate in making an impact within their communities. This event aims to educate attendees about different giving circles and how they can help diversify our fundraising initiatives.
