WELCOME
We are a like-minded group of women who make up the first and only giving circle in the South Bay of Los Angeles.
We stand for community, compassion, philanthropy, and humanity. And we stand together.
Please join us for a coffee, an education night, a welcome event, a pitch meeting, or all of the above. We welcome you with open arms to learn more about who we are and what we do.
MISSION
Forward Giving is a philanthropic organization rooted in community, dedicated to inspiring generosity through education.
We believe that by uniting our efforts, we can cultivate a shared vision and make a more significant, compassionate impact in our neighboring communities.
What is a Giving Circle?
A Giving Circle is more than just a way to donate - it’s a chance to build genuine connections with affinitive women. Together, we make meaningful differences, redefine philanthropy, and build stronger communities through shared passion, purpose, and action.
How does it work?
Join: Everyone is welcome, no matter your giving experience.
Donate: Each member contributes a minimum of $1,500 that is pooled to create a grant, donated at the end of our giving cycle.
Collaborate and Vote: We meet, learn about community needs, and democratically choose which organizations to support.
Give and Celebrate: Funds are donated to the chosen organizations, and we celebrate our shared success.
Why Join a Giving Circle?
Make a Bigger Impact: By combining our donations, we create larger grants for nonprofits than we could achieve alone, multiplying our positive effect on the community.
Belong to a Community: Connect with like-minded, generous people who care about making a local difference.
Learn and Grow: Gain insight into local issues, meet nonprofit leaders, and develop your personal giving philosophy.
Enjoy Meaningful Experiences: Participate in gatherings that are energizing, purposeful, and fun - not just meetings, but opportunities to celebrate generosity together.
