What is a Giving Circle?
A Giving Circle is a model of collective giving. People gather in a group that has shared values and goals, donate to a shared pool, then decide which nonprofits to give the money to.
These discussions and collective donations create societal change and civic actions. It also empowers everyday givers to amplify their impact and become more involved with their communities.

Launched in January 2022, we are a group of philanthropic women in the Greater Westford, MA area who support non profits within our local communities. As a volunteer based giving circle, members nominate and vote on which charity the group will make their contribution. By meeting quarterly and pooling our money together, our donation has the power to be impactful and transforming to the organizations we support. In addition, we are learning about the tremendous work these charities are committed to and how as individuals we can do our part.
Founding members and leadership team, Andrea Imbriaco, Beth Mathews, Mary McCauley, Sue Hanly, and Jeannie Morrissey are teachers, nurses, realtors, neighbors, and friends in your community with a vision of increasing local philanthropy by developing awareness and support.
