Donor circles are gaining in popularity, as giving becomes more intentional, strategic, and values-based. At WFA, Ripple Fund donors pool their gifts and serve as grantmakers to fund specific projects. Each member contributes a minimum of $5,000 and actively participates in proposal review and evaluation, site visits, and award decisions. WFA is committed to making the experience an educational one. Staff provides support by preparing materials, researching issues and organizations to fund, staffing the grantmaking process, and serving as a liaison to the grantee agencies.

If you are interested in joining the Ripple Fund or starting a donor circle, please contact LeAnne Moss at leanne@wfalliance.org or (206) 467-6733.
