"We are honored to be featured in this important national research" said Buffy Beaudoin-Schwartz, WGC's Executive Director and Board Member of Philanos. "This typology overview will inform the field for years to come - for those interested in starting a collective giving group, and for those interested in growing, nurturing, and sustaining them."

Drawing on research covered in In Abundance: An Analysis of the Thriving Landscape of Collective Giving in the U.S., this report by Philanthropy Together and Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy delves deeper into the various types of collective giving groups and serves as a practical resource for giving circles to launch or refine existing structure and processes. 

"The Women's Giving Circle has utilized national research about collective giving throughout our 23 years of growth" said Jennifer Bodensiek, WGC Chair. "We look forward to taking the findings of this new research and applying them to our efforts to continue to strengthen and grow our circle."

For those interested, you can join the co-authors for a webinar on Thursday, January 23 at Noon ET / 9AM PT as they share findings from the report, along with practical guidance on how you can use the report.
