In today’s episode, we’re learning about Giving Circles. Katherine and her guest Heidi talk about communal philanthropy, a fun way to connect with people and make a bigger difference for good. 

On your own, you might not feel like you can do much to address the world’s problems. But you can always do something! Get your friends together and pool your resources to give to causes you care about. You’ll be able to magnify your impact and make a real difference in the world. You gotta try it!

“I just hope when the day is done, I’ve been able to tear a little corner off the darkness.” (Bono)
