Giving Circles

Giving circles are becoming more popular in America, as they are a way to increase and pool resources to make a difference in charitable contributions (from Time).

Much like investment clubs, giving circles consist of a small group of friends who pool their resources and gather--often over a potluck dinner--to pick charitable causes to donate to. Such circles have become especially popular among aging boomers looking for a way to bring meaning as well as fun into their retirement years.

I suppose this isn't really revolutionary. In Christianity, we call giving circles "The Church."
