Giving Circles
Giving Circles allow you to have an active role in the giving process. Individual donors come together with a shared sense of commitment and resources to help those in crisis in our community. Giving Circle members pool funds to have a greater collective impact than they can have individually.
Be a part of a JFCS Giving Circle and collaborate with like-minded, passionate donors, using your voice to engage in collective giving and making your contribution more personal and satisfying. Giving Circle members experience the direct impact of giving all year long, a feeling of connection by offering support exactly when clients need it most, and a process that is engaging, empowering, educational, and emotional.
JFCS’ Giving Circles:
GAP (Greater As Partners):
Collective Impact for Diverse Communities
