Forward Giving
On a Mission.
Our Mission
Each year Forward Giving will identify an issue impacting marginalized communities and reach out to existing non-profit organizations that provide services to members of that community.
Together, we will learn about the most critical needs facing our society today, their impact on our greater community, and how to support the organizations that try to meet those needs. We can contribute as a community, resulting in a grant to one or more non-profits.

Why do some people have so much and others not enough?
There are over 40,000 nonprofit organizations in the Los Angeles area, and yet it remains incredibly difficult for people who want to give to create change in an impactful way. Giving Circles are filling the gap by creating a model where individuals can collectively pool their resources to address the most urgent needs of marginalized communities.
“Each one of us is responsible for the whole of humankind. We need to think of each other really as brothers and sisters and to be concerned for each other’s welfare. Rather than working solely to acquire wealth, we need to do something meaningful, something directed seriously towards the welfare of humanity as a whole.”
— Dalai Lama
