Each cohort of the
Chai Giving Circle is a small group of like-minded individuals who appreciate the
importance of giving and the power of combined resources and knowledge. The
group pools their charitable donations, engages in social justice learning and
philanthropic research together, and collaborates in deciding how to allocate
their giving.
To learn more, please
contact Michelle Kracoff at
[email protected] or (650) 223-8693.
Applications are open for the current cohort (2023). Please fill out this form to indicate your interest by Friday, January 27. The Giving Circle begins on February 6.
