03/05/13 - Giving Circles


About this episode:
More and more charitable donors endeavor to create a multiplier effect by giving alongside others. Pooling resources to enact a communal decision about charity is a great way to turn your small gift into a larger gift -- or your large gift into a grant! Interfaces like GivingChange.org inform people about raising awareness of and mobilizing donations for charitable causes. This 'Giving Circle' model has recently gained momentum in philantrophic 'circles.' Today's Inspire Indeed welcomes Lisa O’Mara, Vice President of Donor Engagement for The Community Foundation, and Robert Dortch, co-founder of the giving circle Ujima Legacy Fund. The Community Foundation serves Greater Richmond by garnering financial support for burgeoning giving circles. The 'Giving Circle' model 'writ large' can bolster non-profits and their charitable mission.

Guest speakers:
Lisa O’Mara, Vice President of Donor Engagement for The Community Foundation
Robert Dortch, co-founder of the giving circle Ujima Legacy Fund
