Advisor Giving Circle

Giving Circles are a form of shared giving and social investment networking. They represent a growing trend in philanthropy and are established by individuals seeking to have greater involvement in their giving. As a local Professional Advisor, the Giving Circle makes your contribution more meaningful by helping you better network among your group, leverage your resources, and enhance the impact of your collective giving.

Additionally you will benefit from:

• Developing a deeper understanding of the philanthropic process by actively engaging and supporting important local youth programs in our community.
• Learning the many ways Placer Community Foundation can assist your clients in achieving their philanthropic goals.
• Setting a standard of community engagement with which to inspire your clients and peers.
• Making a real difference in the causes affecting youth in our county!
