The Ripple Giving Circle, a program of Ripple Impact NW, seeks to provide funding to organizations committed to helping the people of Clark County.
“The Ripple Giving Circles will provide needed funding to make a difference to various causes in Clark County. That is accomplished by a group of people coming together to learn more about their community and to experience how sharing what we have makes a difference to us as a community, as individuals and for organizations focused on the common good,” said Jeanne Kojis, Ripple Impact NW Board Chair.
The Giving Circle welcomes new members. Giving Circles for 2022 on a variety of topics and donation levels will be announced in December.
