Presentation: Join Riva Kantowitz, founder of Radical Flexibility Fund, and Kristen Corning Bedford, strategic philanthropist and author of A Generous Heart: Changing the World Through Feminist Philanthropy, for a presentation about the importance and impact of Giving Circles as tools for locally led social change. We explore how Giving Circles are an emerging response to ineffective and collapsing funding models that are tied to the historical harms they were established to address, and how grassroots networks are generating community-to-community models that enable us as individuals to impact global challenges.
(A companion event hosted by Collin A.C. migrant shelter on starting your own giving circle will be held on January 29th beginning with a 1 pm lunch, and a workshop from 2:00-4:00pm. on January 30th. Details available on the 28th.)
