Giving circle: Is one right for you?

I'm happy to point out a new resource for those considering a giving circle — where people with a cause or set of values in common decide to work together to make donations. Amplifier is a network of giving circles motivated by Jewish values, but useful to everyone. Take a look at their resources for information, including a quiz that helps you identify what type of giving circle might be the right choice for you and your fellow donors. They also quote Dolly Levi from the musical Hello Dolly!, for which I've had an odd affinity since I was 6-years old (I played an extra at that age in a community theater):  

"Money, pardon the expression, is like manure. It’s not worth a thing unless it’s spread around, encouraging young things to grow.”
