Giving Circles

A Gift of Any Amount Can Change a Life if We Do It Collectively

Giving circles are a form of participatory philanthropy where groups of individuals donate money to a pooled fund. Together, they champion their common interest and form a community of like-minded philanthropists. Giving Circles serve to teach philanthropy, inspire a new generation of givers, and create a tangible direct return on investment almost immediately.

At Wheaton, we hope to not only leverage our capacity for giving to support areas of interest but also to promote opportunities for greater involvement, whether that be by mentoring students, volunteering time, or leading initiatives.

We've formed circles for four strategic initiatives, that not only align with Wheaton's vision for the future, but also taking into consideration feedback we have received from our community of supporters.
