Giving Together

Strategic & collaborative giving that centers joy, humility, and humanity

“ImpactFull masterfully manages the individual concerns of each funder while keeping our focus on the people we serve. And an amazing side-benefit is how much we have learned, laughed, and leaned-in together.”

GIVING TOGETHER

Strategic & Collaborative Giving that centers

transparency, humility, and humanity

Got a cause that matters and dollars that could move the needle? Want to find other donors who could make the journey more fun and the change more lasting? Want to learn along the way in a joyful and collaborative setting?

ImpactFull’s Giving Together program and Donor Collective Toolkit turn ideas into action and concerns into theories of change. Our Helping Funders Fundraise model helps you attract more donors and grow the good.

We help you give with purpose.

Whether you're just curious about collective giving, or already partnered with aligned collaborators, we’ve got you covered.

With tools like Interest & Impact surveys, Issue Briefs, Learning Agendas, and our Donor Collective Toolkit, ImpactFull brings 30+ years of expertise to your kitchen table, boardroom, or anywhere your giving journey begins. We’ll scour your network (and ours!) to fill the room and ensure dynamic discussions from Day One.

Let’s create a philanthropic strategy that’s as meaningful as the change you want to make.

  • The solo act of researching issues, problems, and solutions becomes a team effort and a chance to build community. 

  • Surrounded by friends and colleagues that share your curiosity and are unafraid to ask "dumb" questions, participants uncover entirely new approaches to solving intractable problems. 

  • “Impact hack” sessions bring grantees and funders together to learn from each other and co-author grant applications and updated theories of change.

Giving Together clients experience the joy of uncovering and exploring what they care about — and doing something about it, together.  

FAQs

  • No, 6 to 12 months of learning together precedes any grant-making. During that time, prospective members drive a learning agenda to get smarter -- and get ready -- to put dollars in the fund.

  • No, all you need to come together is a desire to uncover a shared vision for making the world a better place. The theme of your joint-giving will take shape as members bring their  questions, ideas, and experience to the table.

  • No, the amount you will grant is a mid-point consideration, and no gift is too small. You want to raise and grant enough to make the project satisfying to the members and impactfull in the community.

  • “This is the most fun and the most impact I have ever had making grants.”

  • “The project design is beyond compare. I have been delighted to sit next to other funders -- and grantees -- to make this work better.”
