PART 1: The Purposeful Investor
Your Capital And the Power of Generosity
Looks at how giving circles are transforming philanthropy by democratizing funding and fostering diverse, community-driven solutions.

Philanthropy Together’s TED talk page showcases how giving circles—grassroots groups that pool small donations, build belonging and discourse, and give with trust and abundance—are democratizing and diversifying philanthropy (collectively giving over $1B) and directly addresses funding inequities faced by communities of color; included for Chapter “Your Capital And the Power of Generosity” because it provides a concrete, actionable example of how individual capital and relational contributions can be pooled to shift power to community-led solutions, mirroring the book’s argument about using capital to amplify equitable, generative impact.
