Putting A Passion For Justice Into Action
Giving Circles: Collective Impact Through Philanthropy
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.
We have millions of people who live here in L.A. so organizations that bring people together around shared values are critically important. My siblings and their families have Donor Advised Funds at Liberty Hill, and we feel like of all the places you might choose to be philanthropic, Liberty Hill is a place where we can identify our values.
