Philanthropy from/for All – Conversation with Sara Lomelin
Today we are airing a conversation with Sara Lomelin, CEO of Philanthropy Together about giving circles, and about the power inside of each of us to unite and fix the holes in our society and help the less fortunate.
Sara is originally from Mexico and graduated from Harvard University. She has lived for many years in the San Francisco Bay Area and has worked in philanthropy. We have talked on numerous occasions with her and one of her teams about philanthropy. In the last three years, she started her work with “Philantrophy Together” as the next step in her philanthropic work that empowers a global community in helping each other in the causes that matter to them.
She is telling us today about the evolution of giving circles around the world, about the work of women in philanthropy, about her latest Ted Talk, and much more. A giving circle is a group of people with shared values who come together to make a change, they pool their time and money, and decide as a circle where it should go. This is now a global movement, and it has been getting organized and working in a more coordinated matter when need it.
