Nominations Due

May 3, 2011 By Sharon

Do you have a cause you care about and an organization you’d like to support?  We do, and we come together in a Change Gang to make a bigger impact than we could do alone.  We contribute $25 and donate our pooled funds every three months to whatever non-profit most closely matches our interest.

May marks the second month in the cycle, so we are accepting nominations this month.

Here’s a brief description about how the process works:

Month 1:

  • Review the last cycle and make adjustments and improvements to the process as necessary.

Month 2:

  • Members nominate the organizations to be considered by the Gang to receive a donation.

Month 3:

  • Members discuss and vote.  The winning organization(s) receives the Gang’s pooled donations.

The results

  • The group structure helps the Gang make informed choices about where to donate money even though no individual member needs to spend a lot of time researching.
  • The Gang makes a bigger impact on a charity because they donate more money as a group than they would as individuals.
  • More fun donating money by sharing it with fun, friendly people who want to make the world a better place.

Do you have a cause you care about and an organization you’d like to support?

Throughout my life, I have donated to help animals, the environment, the homeless, the poor, the Food Bank, the Red Cross and more. You name it, and I’ve probably sent them money. Like many others in today’s economy, the few dollars I had left at the end of the month for philanthropy weren’t making a significant difference for the causes I cared most about– until I discovered the power of giving circles.

I'm dedicated to helping people make a big impact on the causes they care about most.

Past the seeker as he prayed came the crippled and the beggar and the beaten. And seeing them… he cried, “Great God, how is it that a loving creator can see such things and yet do nothing about them?” God said, “I did do something. I made you.” Sufi Teaching
