Giving Circle

Our giving circles are fun networking organizations for men and women to learn about the needs in our community and make a significant difference for 4 nonprofits a year!

How does it work?

Our giving circles meet quarterly. At each meeting, 3 individuals get to make pitches to promote their favorite local nonprofit organization and highlight the organization’s needs. Each presentation lasts 5 minutes and then the audience is allowed 2 minutes for questions. Each meeting lasts one hour or less.

Concluding the presentations, members vote for their favorite pitch. The members commit to contribute $100 toward the organization that wins the most votes.

The winning organization could receive up to $10,000 or more – depending on each group’s membership levels – providing life-changing, mission-changing impact.

How to join?

When you register, you can choose to pay your annual contributions in full at the beginning of the year. Your $500 will be split by our administrative team on your behalf for each quarterly meeting.

The remaining $100 is your registration fee, which goes toward our giving circle endowments. These endowments were established to provide permanent support to local nonprofits.

You can also choose to pay your $100 registration fee up front and your $100 quarterly payments following each meeting.

Meetings take place at the Lafayette Country Club. Doors open for social hour at 5pm. The meeting starts at 5:30pm and concludes by 6:30pm.

Attendance at each quarterly meeting is not required.
