    Giving Circle Membership: How Collective Giving Impacts Donors
    (2018-11-13) Carboni, Julia; Eikenberry, Angela
    The number of giving circles in the U.S. has tripled in the last decade. Giving circles are now located in every state in the U.S., and engage people from a wide variety of racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds, gender identities, and age groups. Giving circles are estimated to have given as much as $1.29 billion to charitable causes since their inception. Amounts that individual members contribute to giving circles vary widely, and giving circles support a wide range of charitable causes and organizations, both through grants and their members’ volunteer time.

    Giving circles in the United States tripled in number from 2007-2017, with women making up the majority of members. How is this women-driven model of giving influencing charitable behavior? And how are the profiles of giving circle participants changing over time? This study by the Collective Giving Research Group and supported by the Women’s Philanthropy Institute explores those questions.
