change the world

Our goal is to be able to develop an ecosystem of donors supporting common advocacy on a regular basis, thus, developing an annual fund campaign towards ultimate sustainability.

The Giving Circle is designed to ignite donors to have an avenue to give according to their matched advocacy. The focused advocacies supported in this giving circle include:

Advocacy on Religious Vocation
Advocacy on Youth Development
Advocacy on Calamity and Disaster Response
Advocacy on Infrastructure

Each group will choose the advocacy of their own choice and will create its own giving circle. The reason why members join a giving circle is the quality of the management team, the potential to scale up, and the potential social impact of the programs of each advocacy of the philanthropic development office.

Giving circles go beyond individuals to pool and unite resources for a common goal with greater impact. Members will contribute time as well as money in the process. There could be giving circles in varied categories but it can be identified accordingly in the PDO.

  1. High Net Worth Individuals
  2. Families and Friends
  3. Corporate Groups / Businessmen
  4. Civic Associations
  5. Others

                Minimum of 7 members giving regularly or 1 giving circle per family (you can have the option to set the minimum number)
