CINGS Giving Circle

The annual Giving Circle within CINGS provides flexible philanthropic funding once a year to innovative, impact-driven causes. We welcome applications from registered nonprofits, for-profit social enterprises, or individuals who share our overall mission of enhancing US-China connection. We will award one first-place grant of $15,000, and one second-place grant of $5,000. Our support is more than a grant: we help you build capabilities, grow awareness, and accelerate momentum for your social cause. We will prioritize supporting initiatives for whom the size of our grant would make a material impact. Applications are due by July 31st, 2024.
