Get Involved
Joining AWGC
Are you interested in becoming a member of the AWGC collective? Sign up for our mailing list, come to one of our events, or get in touch!
We ask all our members to commit to raising $2,500 toward our annual pot OR provide in-kind work toward that fundraising goal.
Start a Giving Circle
Are you interested in starting a giving circle in your own community? We recommend checking out:
Philanthropy Together – filled with resources for launching and sustaining your circle
The Big We – In this book, AWGC founder Hali Lee makes the case that the future of philanthropy belongs to community giving and action rooted in many of our ancestral cultures.
Want something shorter? Try this essay by Hali, which includes the origin story of our circle and links to philanthropic organizations rooted in communities of color.
We’re also open to hearing from you about your interest in starting a giving circle.
Volunteer
As an all-volunteer collective, we could always use more hands on deck especially for our annual benefit. Please get in touch if you are interested in volunteer opportunities.
Our Fundraising Pot
Every year we throw a benefit celebration to honor our grantees, share their work, and break bread with our growing community of artists, activists, grassroots donors and institutional supporters.
