This year’s annual Giving Circle will pool member dues to support nonprofits and social enterprises, with an external partner now leading the process to bring more structure and expertise.

Members can expect:

• Professional guidance from experienced facilitators
• Expanded connections with donors from a global giving network

All members are invited to attend two key meetings:

• Short-listed selection: November 22
• Finalist presentations: December 6
  Theme: Carbon neutrality (“双碳”)

Six members will also have the chance to join the full giving program (in Mandarin), involving about 15 hours total over several virtual sessions beginning October 12, plus optional in-person site visits in late December.

An information session will be held on October 8 (9:00–10:00am Beijing time), and applications are due October 9.
