Collaborative Giving and Giving Circles
Donors and foundations have created donor collaboratives and giving circles. Check the ones dedicated to achieving equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer Americans.
Donor collaboratives are a one-stop shopping for donors who want simplicity. They come in two flavors:
(1) Donors give to a fund and a committee decides how to distribute
the money, or
(2) Donors are presented with a set of options and they
decide how much to give to each of the options.
The collaboratives recommended by eQualityGiving focus on achieving one specific Equality Goal each. At this time, there is one great collaborative focused on marriage equality now:
EQUALITY GOAL: CIVIL MARRIAGE EQUALITY
