Hey, lovely listeners!
Get inspired with this episode of the Just Be Cause Podcast as we chat with Emily Rasmussen, founder of Grapevine, about a game-changing model for philanthropy—Giving Circles!
What if everyday people could pool their resources, collaborate, and drive transformative impact in their communities, without the daunting burden of starting a nonprofit? Whether you’re a nonprofit professional battling burnout or simply someone passionate about making a difference, this episode will open your eyes to new possibilities in collaborative giving.
We dive deep into why Giving Circles are more accessible, sustainable, and empowering than traditional philanthropic models. Can regular folks truly reshape the way charitable funds flow into grassroots causes? Is this the answer to more equitable and community-driven social impact? Plus, learn how nonprofits themselves can harness Giving Circles to build an engaged, recurring donor community—and even spark inter-organizational collaboration for bigger solutions.
Join us for a fun, insightful exploration into manifesting your philanthropic dreams with community, connection, and trust. Ready to rethink giving and take action for the causes you care about most? Don’t miss this thought-provoking episode!
