Giving Circles Quickstart Training/Mentorship
A Giving Circle is a form of philanthropy where groups of individuals donate their own time & money to a pooled fund, deciding together which nonprofit or community project to fund.
AMCF now hosts 3 Giving Circles across the country and we would love for you to start one! Have a group of friends from college? Or want to give together with your siblings? We can help.
Join Amplifier Giving’s webinar and cohort on Giving Circles Quickstart Training/Mentorship. For $50 you’ll partake in a 90 minute webinar on Thursday November 14, 2019 9-10:30am Pacific. Additionally, you’ll be placed with a mentor for 3 1:1 sessions and ongoing support from American Muslim Community Foundation. Sign up today.

Our Collective Progress
Over the last three years, American Muslim Community Foundation has been able to work with more than 53 Donor Advised Funds and Giving Circles to distribute over $1,100,000 to more than 116 charities.
