REGC is a member of the National Giving Circle Network of Asian Americans/ Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy (AAPIP), a philanthropic advocacy organization dedicated to advancing philanthropy and Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities.
“A giving circle is a group of volunteers raising, pooling and granting money together. This allows us for a wide range of giving styles, philosophy and values. Some giving circle members just donate money while others volunteer their time, skills and expertise in the organizations their giving circle funds. Giving circles also provide social networks, leadership development, peer support and learning among its members.” [http://www.aapip.org/givingcircles]
Inspired by the Giving Circle movement, REGC was founded to by queer APIs to pool our own money and gift it to those organizations or groups who create positive change in the San Francisco Bay area.
Very simply, we leverage our own resources to help create change!
