Meet Sara. As the founding CEO of Philanthropy Together, she's working to diversify and democratize philanthropy through the power of giving circles. She believes nonprofit leaders can best connect with giving circles by working in local communities and remembering that giving circle donors are not your regular donors. They want to go beyond giving to elevate your message. “Giving by, for, and with the communities we represent is the future of philanthropy — and each and every one of us belongs in this movement.”
