Many Hands

Many Hands leverages the power of collective giving to support nonprofits serving and empowering Washington, DC area women, children, and families in socioeconomic need. As the leading giving circle in the DC metro area, we have granted more than $2.5 million to local nonprofits since 2004. Originally a women’s organization inspired by the Impact100 model, we continue to prioritize the empowerment of donors that philanthropy has historically overlooked. We welcome all members who share this goal. As an all-volunteer organization, Many Hands empowers all members to help shape grantmaking decisions. However, we have no volunteer requirement. Members are always welcome to participate in the ways that serve their interests and goals. On average, 40% of members serve on a review committee or volunteer in an operational role. If you *are* interested in participating in grantmaking, no experience or expertise is required. Fellow members will provide training and support you every step of the way.
