Liberty Hill has been known for years as a funder through our work in supporting nonprofit groups organizing for change. Last night, we showed our other side: Liberty Hill as a resource for you to think strategically about your philanthropy.

The belief in the collective power of individuals to come together to create change is a cornerstone of our work at Liberty Hill and it extends to our dedicated Donor Activists who form the core of our philanthropic support.

The Next Gen Giving Circle invites new donor activists (ages 25-45) to explore the social justice landscape of Los Angeles.

Giving Circles multiply the power of individual philanthropy by getting like-minded donors together to pool their charitable dollars and collectively select grantee organizations to receive the grants.

Liberty Hill’s Giving Circles are self-directed groups of dynamic individuals who pool their donations to make a greater impact on the issues that matter to them. These Donor Activists collaborate and research targeted opportunities for grantmaking that leverage their collective power as philanthropists.

Workplace giving helps businesses demonstrate community benefit and corporate social responsibility while building employee morale and loyalty.
