Two years ago, I didn't know what a giving circle was. 🤔
Today, with near-zero effort, we've donated over 45k$ to local non-profits. 💰
Spokane for Good is a collection of women enabling those already doing good. Once a quarter, we put a donation in a pot, nominate and hear from local charities, and vote which should get the quarter's funds.
To say it's restored my faith in humanity is an understatement. I've linked the recipients below, but in short, they each are shining, thriving examples of the group's goals: Local. Impactful. People-centric. Their intentions and drive are mirrored by the 80+ members of the giving circle itself and I'm truly mindboggled by the sheer badassery 'round here.
All of this was stemmed from Grapevine scaling their efforts to build giving circles around the world. I can't tell you how easy they've made this for us.
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the partnership from our teammate Traci Bemis, who I believe to have been forged from equal parts generosity, kindness, hilarity, and tacos. 😂 💖 🌮
If you're interested in joining or starting a giving circle, check them out and feel free to fire me some questions! Happy to talk about our experience here in The Spo.
