NonProfit NewsPod: BDOG's Philanthropy for Everyone - Inside the Impact Collaborative

I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. Please send me a text...In this third installment of our Big Day of Giving series with the Sacramento Region Community Foundation, I'm talking, once again, with Chief Philanthropy Officer Kelly Siefkin to explore one of the most exciting new opportunities in local giving: the Impact Collaborative.This episode breaks down how anyone—yes, anyone—can step into philanthropy through a simple, accessible model. For just $300 annually (or $25/month), individuals can join a giving circle that pools resources, builds knowledge, and empowers members to collectively decide where grant dollars go.We also dig into the broader concept of giving circles—how they work, why they’re growing in popularity, and how you can even start your own with friends, colleagues, or community groups.As Big Day of Giving approaches, this conversation highlights a powerful truth: philanthropy isn’t reserved for the few—it’s available to all of us.💡 Why It MattersThis episode reframes philanthropy as something inclusive, social, and learnable—not just transactional.The Impact Collaborative lowers the barrier to entry while increasing engagement, education, and community connection. It’s not just about giving—it’s about understanding where your dollars go and having a voice in the outcome. For many, Big Day of Giving is the first step. The Impact Collaborative is how that step turns into a sustained journey.For more information, visit https://www.sacregcf.org/You can also make the call to learn more: 916-921-7723Thank you so much for listening to this nonprofit story!  We appreciate you.
