Give.

After learning about the selected topic and identifying a targeted area for investment, the Giving Circle invites eligible non-profit organizations to submit grant proposals. The Give committee then takes several months to review the proposals and narrow the list of potential gift recipients to five semi-finalists. From this pool of applicants, the Active Members select two finalists to present to the group before deciding on one non-profit gift recipient for the year. Learn more about our current focus.

"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."
