Social Giving Club

The Social Giving Club creates common ground by solving community challenges and working collaboratively with like-minded, philanthropic individuals.

In its first two years, the Social Giving Club has made important grants to two innovative nonprofit organizations. As a result, members have collectively impacted the community.

In 2017, the Social Giving Club made its annual grant of $25,000 to St. Martin’s HopeFound, whose goal is to rapidly re-house families with children, paying rent for up to six months and providing intensive case management to help them pay their own rent within six months. Similar programs across the country consistently demonstrate an 85-90% success rate.

As always, we are better together.
