In this week's episode of Nonprofit Lowdown, I sit down with Emily Rasmussen, the founder and CEO of Grapevine, to dive into the power of Giving Circles and the future of philanthropy. 💸✨

👥 What exactly is a giving circle? Emily explains how this simple yet powerful concept is bringing everyday philanthropists together to pool their resources, build community, and make a bigger impact. It's all about democratizing philanthropy, where everyone can contribute—whether it’s time, talent, treasure, or connections!


We discuss:

- How giving circles are transforming philanthropy by empowering people to give in a recurring, community-driven way

- The importance of building community among donors, not just managing a list

- Why everyday donors should feel like part of a movement, not just a name on a donor roll

- The growing trend of giving circles as the fastest-growing form of philanthropy and why this model is so effective in today’s nonprofit world


💡 Whether you're looking for fresh ideas on how to engage your donors or you're curious about new ways to build sustainable fundraising, this episode is for you!
