Poplar Bluff Regional Giving Circle
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”
— Helen Keller
ABOUT US
Poplar Bluff Regional Giving Circle, founded in 2012, is a part of a large group of Giving Circles. It is a form of participatory philanthropy giving individuals an opportunity to donate their own money (or time) to a pooled fund. Members decide together where to give away these funds to local charities and community projects. This increases awareness and engages donors with their neighbors needs and issues.
Poplar Bluff Regional Giving Circle is one of over 400 circles in the United States. Over the years, we in Poplar Bluff have leveraged over $70,500 with the hope and desire to do more in our community. All funds are raised locally and given to local organizations. Please consider us in your charitable giving, enabling many to do more.
OUR GIVING
Our donations are spent directly for non-profit organizations in the Poplar Bluff region. No more than $300-$400 are spent on administering the Circle.
In 2023, we received a generous gift for charitable distribution and growing our Circle for greater giving. Over one-half of this donation was given to non-profits and one-fourth of the remainder has been used to develop marketing materials for growth.
