A Movement Grows: Five Years of Expanding Collective Giving

Описание: Five years ago, Philanthropy Together launched with a bold vision: to expand and democratize philanthropy by growing the collective giving movement. Since then, we’ve supported hundreds of giving circles and collaborative funds, built a global network of everyday givers, and watched communities reclaim their power to resource change. We’ve learned a lot: about trust, power, and what it takes to build something that lasts. In this session, we’ll examine what we’ve learned, the trends we’re seeing, and what this moment is asking of us next. Join us to reflect, reimagine, and co-shape what the future of philanthropy can and must become—together.

This session was recorded in May 2025 during the fifth annual We Give Summit.

Through storytelling, training, research, and advocacy, Philanthropy Together is on a mission to democratize and diversify philanthropy globally in order to expand who and what gets funded by scaling and strengthening all models of collective giving: giving circles, collaborative funds, fundraising circles, and so many more. https://philanthropytogether.org
