Behind every donor is a story of why they give, and every single one of them—no matter how big or small—is important and needs to be heard. We’ve found that these stories have significant impact on other donors.

To ensure that we are sharing our learnings and helping donor circles to amplify their impact we have created this compilation of best practices in the form of two toolkits.
