At PowerUP! Baltimore, we will explore new ways of thinking about collective giving, of increasing effective responses to community needs, and of fostering systemic change. In sharing best practices gleaned across the Philanos network, we will inform women and all who identify as women how to efficiently establish, run and scale a giving circle.
