Supporting Justice for All

Giving Circles: Collective Impact Through Philanthropy

Hill

Liberty Hill’s Giving Circles are self-directed groups of dynamic individuals who pool their donations to make a greater impact on the issues that matter to them. These Donor Activists collaborate and research targeted opportunities for grantmaking that leverage their collective power as philanthropists.

Hill
To be a philanthropist literally means to love humanity. We can all be philanthropists because we can all love humanity. I think what has inspired me is the way Liberty Hill has channeled that love through social justice.
