About Us
Our members come together to improve the lives of neighbors going through tough times. We do this through the exponential power of collective giving. Together, we learn about community issues and solutions offered by local nonprofits. Then, we vote to distribute our collective donations to one organization.​
Being in a giving circle is easy. It is educational. It is impactful.
Our Mission
We seek to make a significant and meaningful impact on the lives of Massachusetts women, children and families through the power of collective giving. We use our pooled resources to address critical gaps in resources available to neighbors facing difficult times.

Our MA Female Friends Giving Circle fosters both philanthropy and personal connection among our members.

Giving circles are a unique form of philanthropy - they create a community that has the power to make a transformative impact on the lives of our neighbors in need.
Who We Are
Our members are women from Massachusetts who share the goal of helping women, children and families who are struggling in our communities.
​
Since our Inaugural Giving Circle in Fall 2023 we have grown to 125 members representing over 50 cities and towns in Massachusetts.
​
Growing our membership means growing our impact and supporting all of the organizations we learn about each giving cycle ​​
How It Works
Twice a year, members contribute $100 to our pooled funds. Members are then invited to nominate a MA nonprofit serving women, children and families. Three organizations are randomly selected for consideration. We gather together to learn about the nominees and vote for the nonprofit to receive a $10,000 grant. Donations received over that amount are granted to the runner up organizations.
It's easy. It's educational. It's impactful.
