Giving Circles Fund (GCF) is an organization that harnesses the power of collective action to drive lasting change. With the belief that anyone can be a generous and strategic giver, GCF has developed an innovative online platform to overcome barriers such as affordability, knowledge, and impact. This platform has enabled emerging philanthropists to grant hundreds of thousands of dollars to deserving nonprofits across the country.
