I'll be certain to pass your website address on to my clients and others to whom I speak. Giving Circles are a wonderful new trend in philanthropy. All the more reason for nonprofits to raise their brand visibility and value. How else will giving circles know these nonprofits exist and are worthy of their attention--and funding!? Thanks, Sandy.

While not a formal association or membership organization yet, we are a grassroots network that does provide national services at no cost to all Giving Circles. We also have an Advsiory Panel of nine Giving Circles. See our latest news, newsletters and the February 2006 First Annual Networking Event.

I consult to nonprofits on the importance of branding, namely letting prospective funders clearly understand "who you are, what you do, how you do it and why they should care enough to support your work." Many nonprofits that rely heavily on government funding are struggling these days because of cutbacks. I often refer to giving clubs in my seminars and workshop as alternate sources of funding. Does anyone know if there is a national directory or association for giving clubs that I might be able to direct my clients to?

You are absolutely correct to point out that women's foundations are big champions of giving circles and often act as host. I hope that we begin to see more resources and different types of hosts as well. Angela got back to me and pointed out the same givingforum.org resource as well.

There are also some great resources I found at the Giving Forum (http://www.givingforum.org/givingcircles/) on Giving Circles, while we wait for a book. :D Another great resource are local women's foundations, which tend to incorporate Giving Circles with great success in their work.
