Give.

After the Learn team narrows the focus of the current topic, the Give team continues with the next step of our yearly cycle. The goal of the Give process is to determine the organization and program that best addresses the current topic, while remaining true to the SW Giving Circle’s mission and priorities.In order to do this, the Give team creates and distributes a Request for Proposal, analyzes grant applications, and presents findings to the active membership.  The active members vote to select the winning gift recipient.

"Money alone does not garner the quality of life we all want. Your approach to learning about community issues—and to engage with and bring attention to critical community challenges and opportunities is key. You are role models—not only with your families and social circles—but in the broader community. You let others know that engagement and action is possible. By doing what you do, where you combine strategy and passion, you are creating important muscle memory for any issue our community faces."
