Transforming the Experience of Giving
What makes Amplifier more than these figures and categories is the power of the giving circle experience. The grants themselves are great, but we believe real, lasting change will happen when more people transform how they give.
Research shows that, over time, giving circle members’ behaviors and attitudes evolve, and giving circle members:
- give more: on average, giving circle members give more than donors who are not in giving circles
- give more strategically: giving circle members are more likely to give to advance a vision for change, conduct research, support general operating expenses, check organizational performance data, and make multi-year gifts
- are more engaged in their communities: giving circle members express more of a sense of civic responsibility and donate to a wider range of organizations
