Giving Circle

Giving Circles.

Bringing like-minded donors together for the greater good.

Greater Houston Community Foundation is home to several community-based giving circles designed to facilitate collaborative giving in the Greater Houston area. Giving circles allow donors with similar interests to come together, pool their donations, and recommend grants to the causes that matter most to them.

Making a Difference Together

“Since our inception, GHCF has been a tremendous partner and resource for the New Giving Collective. GHCF’s team of professionals work extremely hard to meet and anticipate all of our needs and they played an instrumental role in the success of our formal launch this year.”

Cassye D. Cook Provost (Founder, New Giving Collective)

“Latino Giving Houston founded its giving circle with GHCF in 2009. Since then, LGH members have been afforded the opportunity to learn from giving circles that preceded us. Whenever LGH needs assistance or wants to take advantage of a new learning opportunity within GHCF, the staff is fully supportive and gets the job done for us.”

Clarissa L. Valdez (Treasurer, Latino Giving Houston)
